Considering fluoride only works when it is applied to the teeth ingesting fluoride doesn't make too much sense. I'd rather just be exposed to it while brushing my teeth. I don't trust the dental industry too much considering I have a couple fillings in my mouth that probably contain mercury since I got them back before that was phased out. I give a pat on the back to everyone that thought putting mercury inside someone's mouth was a good idea. Anyways, I know their intentions are supposed to be for the greater good.

That is right. The fluoride in the water is going to be a part of the teeth not yet erupted. The fluoride in the water does not do (almost) anything to the teeth you allready have.
Mercury in dental amalgam is not a problem, most studies show that it is harmless. The real problem with mercury is that the remains that dentists don´t use go to the public sewer system, but most countries requires the use of amalgam separators to retain the mercury.
