People with these dumb ideas should be forced to look at the mouths of children who didn't get fluoride treatments or dental care. Their teeth are broken and rotten. Their gums bleed. Their breath is foul. They are in constant pain, 24/7. They can't concentrate in school.

And they're usually poor. Very few dentists take Medicaid patients. The only hope these children have is fluoridated water.

Taking that away is criminal.
