Floride

Floride has been placed in our water system for years because it strengthens the enamel of teeth and reduces tooth decay. To little floride, there are more cavities; too much there is a white discoloration on teeth. In a recent study, it was shown that we are getting floride from other sources, tooth paste, vitamins, mouth rinses. It has been found that 2 out of 5 children have evedence of dental fluorosis - white streaking. Although there is no health risk, there is a cosmetic concern.  Lowering Floride Levels
