But you will brush your teeth anyway, and then you apply fluoride topically. It works.

Here in Sweden we decided against fluoride for this reason and the fact that it is in fact toxic. It isn't sensible to use systemic exposure when we can use topical exposure and can improve mouth health by education, so that people do what they're supposed to.

The fluoride approach achieves a basic level of health, but you can do so much better.
