It also prevents dangerous infections in the mouth, which is right next to the brain. It's not just dental bills. Municipalities that use fluoride reduce pediatric hospitalizations for disseminated infections.
I've designed multiple fluoride feed facilities, and extensively read the AWWA fluoridation manual. I'm very familiar with the dental and bone health impacts of fluoride. I never heard the infection angle. Thank you for the cool new info!

I just pulled out my copy of AWWA Manual M4. No mention of infections. Again, thanks for the info.

Yeah, it's tough because you have to compare similar places with and without fluoridation and compare hospitalization rates. Here's a study in Israel: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0002817714001159
I think Canada had a similar situation where they could compare similar provinces.
