You're wrong.

Most people of my age have bad teeth, and the lack of fluorides was
one of the main causes. Many of us had virtually no access to
sweets. The introduction to fluorine to toothpaste (yes, I got
that wrong) caused a major improvement.

Not knowing what age you are I can't really respond. Did you not have
access to anything containing sugar?

In my 60s. And effectively not.
