Water fluoridation rates are well under dangerous levels - about 0.7 mg/L for artificially fluoridated water, vs 2+ mg/L long-term to actually cause any problems. Even that small amount helps with reducing tooth decay, as was shown in the US in studies starting in the 50s comparing areas with naturally fluoridated water with areas without it.
