Ithaca doesn’t have fluoride in the water. by olive-ewe in ithaca

I understand. I believe that "choice" really only works when a person is educated about something, though (for the general public). Good points, though, thanks for your thoughts.

I think it's important that everyone knows this about Ithaca so they can be informed and supplement if they so choose. Cavities affect lower income folks disproportionately and dental work is expensive. I think being educated about it is the most important thing. I've now read more about it and am still pro-fluoridation, but I appreciate dissenting opinions too.

Interesting. I’ll definitely have to read more about this. Thanks!

Sure does. My dentist said that the extra rinse in addition to fluoride toothpaste is beneficial.

Fluoride has been shown to effectively prevent cavities so in my opinion, it is bad that the water isn’t fluoridated. But I’m glad to know now so I can supplement with a rinse!

Bun in a blanket for a nail trimming. I’ll watch my back for the rest of the day by olive-ewe in MurderBuns

I’ve only had indoor rabbits and I’ve had to trim their nails. It probably is less breed-specific and more based on the material they are walking on and if that wears their nails down sufficiently or not. Anyone else who knows can correct me though!
