That's not true. Fluoride tooth paste is more than sufficient, and
dentists give fluoride treatments. My bottle of Listerine contains
sodium fluoride. Btw, most municipal water supplies do not contain
fluoride. Fluoride only works on contact with tooth enamel, absorbed
by the body it offers no tooth protection whatsoever, however can
cause medical problems... for fluoridated water to be of benefit one
would need to drink more fluoridated water than is healthful. One
should discuss this issue with a competant dentist, not your dentist.
