Decades ago, I had a dentist tell me that flouride was rat poison. Of course, that's been "debunked": they don't use it in rat poison - now.

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) held back the release of the report after criticism of its findings from health and dental organisations that advocate for community water fluoridation.
Water fluoridation is described as one of the 10 greatest public health achievements of the 20th century for its part in reducing tooth decay in adults and children by roughly 25%. According to the latest figures, nearly 73% of people connected with community water systems receive fluoridated water, accounting for more than 200 million people, or just under two-thirds of the overall U.S. population. Advocates argue that fluoridation is especially needed in low income communities where rates of tooth decay are generally higher than in wealthier neighborhoods.
This is the accepted scientific thinking but for decades opponents have pointed to their being a huge amount of risk involved in the artificially adding of fluoride to drinking water. Research linking fluoride exposure to neurotoxicological impacts in humans, including IQ loss and a higher prevalence of ADHD in children dating back decades.
