I don't avoid women, Mandrake, but I do deny them my essence.
The question is: does it make sense to buy toothpaste with fluoride then or can I buy one without? Just because my kids don't like the peppermint ones and other flavours are most of the times without fluoride
Always buy flouride toothpaste.
Fluoridated toothpaste is more effective than drinking water. The fluoride works by direct contact with the enamel. Another reason it doesn't make sense to put it in drinking water.
Fluoride in the water is beneficial in the pre-eruptive phase (when teeth are still growing). Fluoride ingestion increases tooth resistence to cavities if the ingestion happened while they were growing.
This does mean that fluoride in water isn't really useful after you have all your permanent teeth though.

Now say something that bros can really understand, like "fluoride affects zinc and magnesium absorption". Just don't tell them how it interacts
I never met the fellow. I never did the science either.
You all are easily impressed.

Used to be a thing about it turning your teeth green
