| Is the City Water Fluoridated? I was talking with a friend over the weekend - she's a dentist - about whether fluoride is beneficial or harmful and I was surprised when she told me that the city water in Lexington Park is NOT fluoridated. Can anyone confirm this? I personally don't like the idea of consuming a toxic chemical so if this is true the I'm a happy camper. take care! Last edited by realius; 01-28-2008 at 02:01 PM. |

| Yeah, fluoride. Sorry - I guess 'Fluoridated' is the proper way to say it. |

|  @ Catt...I am pretty sure (in Calvert anyway) that only the CRE water had flouride. My kids do not have to have flouride drops b/c of it. But if we lived anywhere else, he would have prescribed them. |

Well, it is two different things entirely.

I always post something about this when the discussion pops up. My daughter has a mild form of this, from fluoride drops she was given when we lived in Spain. It's basically fluoride overkill. I think if you don't have fluoride in your water, you're probably getting enough just from your toothpaste. | |
