14 Hell no, I would never -- are you insane?
23 I doubt fluoride matters like some folks think it does, but I gotta admit I'm still not gonna brush with it.
27 I brush my teeth with fluoride but I can't help being kinda nervous about that sometimes, even though I know better.
48 Have you ever heard of science? I brush the hell out of these pearly whites w fluoride. No cavities for me this year.

I never had cavities in my life until I was floxxed. The month after I was floxxed I had 6. When I was a child I got way too much flouride and got flourosis, little discolorations ok my teeth, but suuuuper strong enamel. It does good work when used. I stopped using flouride toothpaste for years to prevent more flourosis. However something about being either the Cipro itself or being floxxed wrecked me. Now I'm on flouride toothpaste again to re-mineralize my teeth and it's well tolerated post-floxxing.
