Strangely, nothing really said about causes, so some speculation is in order. Since tooth decay is caused by living organisms (bacteria), and they evolve, could they have become somewhat less affected by fluoride? Fluoride is an antimicrobial, so it seems possible.

It’s almost like the rise in Dental health science and good mouth hygiene practices have more of an impact than a water source most people put a filter on anyways 😮
But seriously, if Fluoride wasn’t basically the cheapest thing in the planet to add to the water supply we might have had a conversation about how useless the practice has become to society like 30 years ago.Â
