According to the Fluoride Action Network

97% of the western European population drinks non-fluoridated tap water. These countries (after reviewing the evidence against fluoridation) either ended their "water-treatment" or simply never adopted the practice. Unanimously, these countries have seen an overall decrease in the amount of tooth decay, as reported by data from the World Health Organization

Sure enough, the list checks out! So without further ado, here is the complete list of European countries who have said no to fluoride.

Fluoridation was stopped in Prague in 1988 and subsequently in the whole country.
