| Can the consistent use of bottled water
result in individuals missing the benefits
of optimally fluoridated water?
Yes. The majority of bottled waters on
the market do not contain optimal
levels (0.7-1.2 ppm) of fluoride.
Read more about this in the online
version of ADA's Fluoridation Facts.
Can home water treatment systems (e.g.,
water filters) affect optimally fluoridated
water supplies?
Yes. Some types of home water treatment
systems can reduce the fluoride levels
in water supplies potentially decreasing
the decay-preventive effects of optimally
fluoridated water. Read more about this
in the online version of
ADA's Fluoridation Facts.
For more detailed explanations, read the
ADA's Fluoridation Facts booklet. It
is a 70-page comprehensive encyclopedia
of fluoridation facts with over 200 scientific
references. Order your copy of ADA's
Fluoridation Facts (Item No. J120) from
