Tara what will we do if they do flouridate water as dentists are pushing for?
Sunny D springs to mind as a drink which was pushed as being very good for children. It turned out to be nearly poison for them!
Jem, the "Fluoridation" of water supplies has been mooted in the UK since the early '60's. Some towns (I think Birmingham is one of them, but am open to correction) were used as test cases. As far as I am aware, the results brought in showed little or no value in adding it to water, so I don't think it will become generally used any time soon. They've taken 40 odd years already!
