What is fluoride?
Fluoride has been added to most municipal drinking water and bottled water (except well water) to help reduce tooth decay. It strengthens enamel which is the outer shell of a tooth, and prevents enamel from thinning when exposed to bacteria or sugar on teeth.
Is fluoride safe?
Fluoride has been used in the United States since the 1950’s. It is safe as well as very effective at reducing cavities.
We can check your water system to see if you have optimum fluoride levels and to see if your child needs supplemental fluoride treatments.
