The Importance of Fluoride<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Fluoride is something everyone needs from the time they are just a baby.
\nYou may even save money on dental treatment costs by just turning on your tap and drinking the water!<\/p>\n

Scientists have discovered that patients with access to fluoridated water had fewer dental restorations and lower\u00a0dental care<\/a>\u00a0costs during a 5 year period. \u00a0Older adults seemed to have benefited the most.<\/p>\n

According to the CDC (center for disease control), approximately 67% of the US population that receives water from public water supply now drinks it with optimal fluoride levels that will help to prevent decay.<\/p>\n

So, what is Fluoride?\u00a0 And how does it help you?\u00a0 Fluoride is a mineral that occurs naturally in all water sources, even the oceans.\u00a0 There is research that proves fluoride not only reduces cavities in children and adults but also helps to repair the early stages of tooth decay, even before the decay is visible.\u00a0 It is the best cavity fighter for the whole family, regardless of age!<\/p>\n

When fluoride reaches the\u00a0teeth<\/a>, it is absorbed into the enamel.\u00a0 It helps repair the enamel by replenishing any lost calcium and phosphorous.\u00a0 This is what keeps the teeth hard, called remineralization. When fluoride is introduced during remineralization, the minerals will deposit into the tooth enamel.\u00a0 It will help to strengthen the teeth and prevent any dissolution.\u00a0 Fluoride will help stop the decay process and prevent tooth decay.

Most bottled water does not contain fluoride, so make sure your family is drinking water that contains fluoride.<\/p>\n
