I went to the dentist today. I opened my mouth, she looked inside and said "where are you from?"

Huh?

"You have white flecks all over your teeth so that means you grew up somewhere with fluoridated water, and that isn't here."

She didn't say that fluoridated water offered any advantages. Just white flecks.

@sixohsix lol, I have those without flouridated water just because my overcautious first time parents gave me too many flouride tablets

@noiob what's a fluoride tablet? I've never heard of them.

@sixohsix it's just flouride in pill form, for small children who don't use flouridated toothpaste yet. I don't think it's recommended anymore
