You people should be celebrating.
Sodium Fluoride is an industrial poison derived from the following industries:
-fertilizer
-aluminum (and other metals)
-nuclear weapons
This stuff is 20x more toxic than natural occuring calcium fluoride, which is found in trace amounts in ground water supplies.
Seriously, the dental benefits are proving to be negligible.
Fluoride is supposed to be administered topically. This is why the dentist rinses the fluoride foam from your mouth, and why your tooth paste label warns you to not swallow it, for you could get very sick.
Swallowing and ingesting fluoride is the equivalent of drinking sun screen to prevent a sun burn.

Medical tests all over the world have proven sodium fluoride to be hazardous to human health in so many ways. It causes infertility, cancer, endocrine dysfunction, lower IQ/brain damage, liver/kidney damage in kids etc. It goes on and on.

Interestingly, the first two places where water fluoridation was used was in Nazi Germany prison camps, and Stalin's gulag camps. Of course fluoride concentrations were higher then what we consume now, but it reportedly made the prisoners sterile, dumb and lethargic. I believe the term was "calm submission"......
USAF Major George R. Jordan testified before Un-American Activity committees of Congress in the 1950's that in his post as U.S.-Soviet liaison officer, the Soviets openly admitted to "Using the fluoride in the water supplies in their concentration camps, to make the prisoners stupid, docile, and subservient."
If you want, Christopher Bryson has a 45 minute documentary on youtube called "The Fluoride Deception". I found it rather interesting.
