This will not happen. Fluoride is already available to people who can afford it in the form of toothpaste, and toothpaste is a way more effective method of fluoride application than drinking water. The point of fluoridated water isn’t that it’s the best way to prevent tooth decay, compared to toothpaste it really isn’t. The point is that it provides fluoride to literally everyone, even people who can’t afford toothpaste, because everyone drinks water. It is completely pointless as a product.
But have you considered: “I drink fluoride water that means I don’t need to brush my teeth.”
Maybe I’m wrong, but I don’t this type of guy actually exists. I don’t think there’s anyone who cares enough to buy fluoridated water, but not enough to brush their teeth.
Ah, but you’re not thinking like a grifter!
Picture this: Fluoride water that sells itself as “showing those stupid republicans” the fluoride wouldn’t be the actual main selling point, it would be so a person can loudly announce what kind of person they are (a smug liberal)
You’re right I failed to consider this, looking at it from this angle I could see it
maybe some adhd people who can’t consistently brush but would get the fluoride drink
Kids need fluoride though as their teeth form, toothpaste is not enough
