Fluoride and sugar operate completely independently on dental health. Fluoride is very beneficial, regardless of any other diet or dental hygiene factors. If you eat a lot of sugar, fluoride helps. If you don't eat any sugar, fluoride still helps.

I don't agree with putting fluoride in the water - but it should be available to anyone without a prescription.
