Are You Filtering Out Your Fluoride?

Let’s Find Out!

 According to the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, when public water is fluoridated to an optimal level, there is a 35% reduction of cavities in baby teeth and a 26% reduction of cavities in adult teeth. The water in Kern County is not consistent in water fluoridation and varies depending on your address or zip code.

You have to call your local water company to know if your water is optimally fluoridated. Even if your water is optimally fluoridated, if you use certain filters at home, it can filter out all your fluoride. Ask your dentist if you need a fluoride prescription.
