Yet Another Reason to Stop Drinking Bottled Water

As if the wastefulness alone wasn’t enough to convince people to stop using bottled water, do it for your teeth!  Until recently, I was unaware of the high acidity levels and lack of fluoride in bottled water. A study done by the American Dental Hygienists’ Association, was conducted for the purpose of educating patients on the dangers of dental erosion and tooth decay which is caused by over consumption of acidic foods and beverages. Most of the bottled water they tested had a more acidic pH when tested in the lab than the value listed in their water quality reports.  Check out the list to make sure your water is not eroding your teeth and watch the video to see for yourself the various levels of acidity.
