I couldn't get the page to load to see the article, so I'm not sure what it
had to say. I play a dentist, too, 'cept at the office.... going on 27 years.
I don't have the concentration numbers for enamel fluorosis (mottled, not
black enamel), but it's a lot. Some areas in the southwest have natural
fluoride that may do that.

I have practiced during the time when fluoride has been introduced and I can
verify that is has been a major factor in eliminating pediatric caries
(decay)as a major health problem in the US. For kids to get decay today,
there's usually some form of neglect. The claims of pseudo-nutritionists and
scientists who play them on TV that fluoridation is bad have no scientific
basis.

You know, it's really hard to get my E. evergladei to floss! Obligatory fishy
reference!) ;)

Kids need supplementation in areas where fuoride is not in the drinking
water. Supplementing and drinking the water's not good for them.
