        In British Columbia, a shocking 11% of the entire population drinks fluoridated water, as opposed to 40-70% in other Canadian regions. Despite this, British Columbia has the lowest rate of tooth decay in all of Canada. In addition, the lowest rates of dental caries within the province are found in areas that do not have their water supplies fluoridated.

        In 1986-87, the largest study ever on fluoridation and tooth decay was performed. The subjects were 39,000 school children between 5 and 17 living in 84 areas around the country. A third of the places were fluoridated, a third were partially fluoridated, and a third were not. Results indicate no statistically significant differences in dental decay between fluoridated and unfluoridated cities.

        children get fluorosis much more often
        
        due to legal amount of fluoride in water being 4ml and children getting fluorosis at 2ml
