Yes! As your family dentist in High Point, NC, we can confirm our water is good for your dental health. The city of High Point makes the water good for your oral health on purpose. They do this so later down the line it will only help your teeth become more strong.
How Is The Water Good?
The city makes it a point to put the safest amount of fluoride in the city's water system according to the U.S Department of Health and Human Services. They do this so everyone in the city, including your family, is ingesting the correct amount to help your teeth at all stages of life.
When fluoride water is ingested by your children whose permanent teeth are still developing under the gums, the fluoride makes its way into those “underground” adult teeth to influence the build of enamel to help make those adult teeth stronger when they come out. Which, in the long run, will help with tooth decay substantially.
For adults or children whose adult teeth have come in, the fluoride in the water can help your teeth greatly too. Every sip of water you take will help act as a “topical,” and when it coats the surface of your teeth, it helps slow down the acid production, which then helps get rid of plaque and bacteria buildup and can help repair early tooth decay before a cavity can show up.
