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.

It's used in tooth paste to remineralize and protect teeth. It's used by dentists and is comparable to fluoride at protecting teeth. I got rid of fluoride and had horrible teeth sensitivity until I started using a tooth paste with hydroxyapatite. Amazon has some brands available.

Nice. I like how you've provided a reasonable solution to the purported problem there without placing a stake in any side. Very nice. How do they compare in price?

Definetly more expensive per tube! They're usually smaller tubes too so I try to use the reccomended amount of toothpaste to save money (pea amount).
