My kids have had their fair share of cavities, despite brushing, checkups,
and good eating habits. Our dentist (who went my alma mater, Temple , a
large city university that has a very good dental school and clinic) said
that the inner-city welfare kids all have fabulous teeth while the middle
and upper-middle class kids here in the suburbs have crappy teeth.
Why?
Flouridated water.
