I grew up drinking water with flouride in it and have never had a filling. Neither have any of my sisters or my DP and his sisters. I brush my teeth twice a day with normal colgate toothpaste and sometimes use a mouthwash. I floss sometimes as well if I feel like I need to and my teeth are really healthy.

I think the flouride made our teeth strong growing up as well as making sure we had a diet rich in calcium.

Buzzie- thanks for all the great advice and info
