The real question is, fluoridated water in the past or not, how is any non-brushing patient being told they're teeth are top tier?

Brushing is much less important for your teeth than your genetics and/or nutrition.

  • Anything to back that up? And even if it's true, the person would logically still not be to tier as the people with good nutrition and genetics who also brush would likely be better.

  • True. Part of the reason is aggressive saliva that just doesn't let some bacteria live and thus keeps the teeth healthy for longer. Dry mouth is literally damaging your teeth as well.
