Honestly not a bad idea. Fluoride doesn't actually provide much of any benefit for those who brush their teeth. If anything we ought to be asking why we keep spending money on it now that brushing is entirely normal.
It's not as common as you'd think unfortunately - and not all parents make their kids brush which is totally not their fault. So as long as it doesn't harm anyone to keep it in and helps some why not?
Is that sarcasm? Its definity a parent's fault for not maintaining hygiene in their dependent spawn
“Not the fault of the kids” is obviously what they mean.
Oh. That wasn't obvious
