I know many in the US that fluoride treatments that are ridden with fillings. I think you have a tooth shape and oral microbiome, that is resistant to cavities, rather than the fluoride treatments. How can we know what the provided the benefit based on n=1?

Also General Jack D Ripper has concerns about the impact to P.O.E. ;)
