 It has an impact when applied topically to the teeth. Like what happens when one brushes their damn teeth. It does not need to be in drinking water and we should not take the "it may not be unsafe but who really knows" approach when dumping shit into water. Of course the same can be said of other chemicals too, but there's no reason to just pile unnecessary things in when people can just brush their fucking teeth.
