> Why did many European countries discontinue fluoridation?

Could it have something to do with the increasing use of fluoridated toothpaste?

Probably. But why take fluoride out of the water?

  • Because if adding fluoride to water isn't additionally preventative beyond the use of toothpaste, then adding the fluoride to the public water system is just wasting public funds.
