On the plus side, I smell a great opportunity for a longitudinal population study. 🤔

    Rural dental care is notoriously poor in the US. Also, for some ridiculous reasons, dental care is treated separately from medical care when it comes to insurance. I know people who can’t afford to go to the dentist and one who is lucky to have access to low cost dental school care. Putting fluoride in water at least helps those who don’t or can’t take good care of their teeth.
