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."
