Whenever the authorities say "it is important to understand...." they are usually telling a lie that forms the false premise on which all the other stuff is piled.
I guess, strictly speaking "some fluoride exposure" does play a role in good teeth, since every person alive on the planet today with good teeth has had "some fluoride exposure". The exposure happens to be several orders of magnitude lower than they say is needed - that is the LIE that they think is "important to understand".
"It is important to understand that some radiation, lead, arsenic and mercury exposure to developing teeth also plays a role in preventing long term full human development. Parents and health providers should weigh the balance between a child's risk for very tragic or tragic cognitive and social impairment, damaged immune system, cancer and the benefit of the CDC never having to say it's sorry for dumping industrial waste fluoride into the drinking water of 200 million Americans."
The best permanent teeth appear to be in children who got essentially zilch fluoride in breastfeeding for at least two years, and 0.03 to 0.3 mg/L in drinking water, and didn't have to breathe any in air pollution. Oh, what a coincidence! That is also the level that nature provides in most natural surface fresh water and clean air!

Quote from the web page: "It is important to understand that some fluoride exposure to
developing teeth also plays a long-term role in preventing tooth decay. Parents and health
providers should weigh the balance between a child's risk for very mild or mild enamel
fluorosis and the benefit of fluoride for preventing tooth decay and the need for dental
fillings."
MY COMMENTS: THIS WEB PAGE IS ALL ABOUT FLUORIDE AND BABY FORMULA. THUS, THE
CDC SAYS THAT SYSTEMIC FLUORIDE EXPOSURE FOR INFANTS PROVIDES A BENEFIT. IS
THE BENEFIT FOR PERMANENT TEETH AS WELL AS BABY TEETH? I'VE ASKED THE CDC THAT
QUESTION. I'M ALSO CURIOUS ABOUT HOW MUCH OF THE BENEFIT OF SYSTEMIC
FLUORIDE IS LOST BY SEVERLY REDUCIING IT UNTIL THE TEETH ERUPT. I'M JUST USING THE
CDC'S LOGIC HERE, NOT MY OWN OPINIONS.
Questions and answers from the CDC web page:
"What type of water does CDC recommend for mixing infant formula?"
"Parents should follow the advice of the formula manufacturer and their child's doctor for
the type of water appropriate for the formula they are using."
IN OTHER WORDS, THE CDC HAS NO RECOMMONDATION OF THEIR OWN. IF YOUR
DOCTOR SAYS ADD FLUORIDATED WATER TO FORMULA, THE CDC SAYS THAT'S FINE. IF
YOU HAVE A DOCTOR WHO'S EDUCATION CAME BETWEEN 1950 AND 2006, THEN THAT
DOCTOR IS LIKELY TO SAY ADD THE FLUORIDE.
"Are children today at greater risk for developing fluorosis from infant formula mixed with
fluoridated water than children in the past?"
"There has always been some level of very mild and mild fluorosis in children, but it was
thought to be caused by fluoride intake after age one."
I WOULD LIKE TO FIND OUT IF THIS IS ACTUALLY TRUE. FLUORIDE INFANT DROPS HAVE
BEEN SOLD FOR DECADES. DID DENTAL RESEARCHERS ACTUALLY BELIEVE THAT YOU
COULD INCORPORATE FLUORIDE INTO DEVELOPING TEETH AND NOT HAVE FLUOROSIS?
