The argument I saw was that fluoridated water was more effective
because it provided fluoride exposure in the mouth distributed more
evenly across the day. Toothbrushing with fluoride toothpaste is
providing a bolus of fluoride at one point in time, and for the bulk
of the day the availability of fluoride in the mouth is quite low.
