Brush, floss, and drink your tap water.
Choose the tap. Studies show that in communities where the water system is treated with fluoride, the people report fewer cavities. The process of water fluoridation is effective at reducing tooth decay by 20% - 40%. It is proven safe and effective, which is probably why over 70% of the U.S. population served by public water systems receive the benefits of fluoridated water. And, if any of them are like me, they wont even realize it. So get drinking, because a lifetime of fluoridated water is less than the cost of one filling. Yes, this is one health program that actually saves money! So, put down that bottled water and hit up the tap. Your teeth will appreciate it.
