Fluoridation is not universal. Our water company has never added it, though I don't know why other than the expense. We get the fluoride tabs, which are very inexpensive even without insurance, cheaper than our deductible. Between that and toothpaste and check-ups, our family cavity rate is very low. Of course, we happen to have dental insurance making routine visits affordable.
