It's not bad. If it was bad it wouldn't be in all of our drinking water. These conspiracy theories are moronic.
http://www.cdc.gov/fluoridation/ Also this offers a good perspective on fluoridation:

Whether fluoride is good or bad is unimportant. It's forced medication with no control of dosage and no taking in account other sources of fluoride a person might be exposed to. Infants and children often get dental fluorosis because dosage is completely disregarded. Fluorosis is a condition that causes teeth and bones to be more brittle and it causes permanent stains on the teeth. This is highly documented and not something lunatics came out with, you can find the stats on the CDC website: 40% of teens have some degree of fluorosis. Anyone who thinks this is okay is a moron.

Fluorosis can only affect children who haven't shed their deciduous teeth yet. The best way to keep it from happening is to just use non-fluoridated toothpaste. I would be willing to bet that most severe cases of fluorosis result from kids whose parents get them some "kid flavor" toothpaste that they eat a lot of... and end up with too much fluoride.
