Tap water often contains fluoride—about 60% of people in
the U.S. have fluoride in their water supply.
However, most bottled waters contain less fluoride than
recommended for good oral health (it will be listed as an ingredient on the
label if it is an additive).
"Fluoride makes the entire tooth structure more resistant
to decay and promotes remineralization, which aids in repairing early decay before
damage is even visible," explains Academy of General Dentistry
spokesperson, Charles H. Perle, DMD, FAGD. "Studies have confirmed [that]
the most effective source of fluoride is water fluoridation."Dentists in La Canada Flintridge
