Per the American Dental Association, there has not yet been much research
regarding the use of bottled water and caries (tooth decay) risk. However,
lack of exposure to fluoride does increase an individuals's risk for caries.
Most communities have fluoridated tap water whereas the majority of bottled
waters on the market do not contain optimal levels of fluoride. Individuals
who drink bottled water as their primary source of water could be missing
the decay-preventive benefit of optimally flouridated tap water.
More information on this subject can be obtained at www.ada.org/goto/bottledwater.
At the offices of Drs. Weiss, Waldee and Associates, we care about
our patients and keep them up-to-date with any information we come across
that can personally assist them with their dental care. The doctors and staff
routinely attend continuing education courses, seminars and review dental
periodicals.
