The question is not if you are happy with your decisions. The question is about the ethics of spreading misinformation.
In this circumstance, you are simply wrong about the dangers of fluoridated water. Your claims suggest an ignorance about fundamental tenets of pharmacology, and the importance of dose. It is not everyday knowledge, and everyone is ignorant about many things; I don't mean it as an insult. It does mean, though, that you should be careful about giving others advice.
"The question is about the ethics of spreading misinformation."
Are you sure your sources on sodium fluoride being safe is not misinformation, and that rather I'm the one spreading misinformation? Have you researched opposing points of view?
Beyond research, is it common sense to ingest a known neuro and bone toxin at any level for any length of time? Have you tried spring water for any length of time, how does it make you feel?
Oh hold on, I'm wrong about fluoridated water, and now my health is at risk for not having it.
I'm a physician, and I read quite a bit of primary literature. I also know that there are great sources of info on the Internet, but many of them are not so great. I read this article, and a few linked from it, in the Journal of Public Health Dentistry, before I responded.
Your argument, "is it common sense to ingest a known neuro and bone toxin at any level for any length of time?" continues to expose your ignorance. Anything, even water, is toxic at the right concentrations. All substances can be poisons, but some at the right dose can be medicine.
It is faulty to say that "if a lot is bad, then even a little is bad," just as much as it's wrong to say "if a little is good a lot must be great" like the vitamin mega-dose proponents say.
Well, I have read about Nazis putting fluoride in their death camp water on numerous occasions. Do you think they did that for the betterment of health and improving lives?
I've also read about many countries banning its use. I've also read about it accumulating in the pineal gland.
Do you think you can trust dentists for accurate information on fluoride after they put mercury into people's mouths, calling it silver amalgam?

The Nazis were also interested in getting rid of parasites on their prisoners and stopping epidemics.
Wait - are you saying public health efforts aimed at stopping communicable diseases are Nazi-approved?! I can't believe I approved of Nazis! Quick, tell the anti-vaxxers!
