How much is spent yearly on dentist fluoride treatments?
nyscof asked:
Insurance companies cover fluoride treatments at dentists' offices, usually without question. Fluoride treatments are only recommended for people at high risk of tooth decay. 80% of all tooth decay occurs in 20% of the population, mostly lower-income Americans who never actually see a dentist. So, I wonder how many unnecessary fluoride treatments are bought and paid for by insurance companies and individuals?

My question: What is the total cost of all the fluoride treatments administered in the United States, paid by insurance, government programs and/or individuals?
