The topic of fluoride being added to drinking
water in cities and towns is one that has been
making the news lately, not just here in Arborg,
but throughout Canada.

There is debate as to whether municipal water
supplies should add fluoride to treated water
supplies. Some people have concerns if it is safe
for drinking and if it will really make any
difference in helping to reduce tooth decay.

What Is Fluoride and Is It Safe? Fluoride is a
natural and common mineral that can help in the
prevention of tooth decay and cavities.

It helps to make our teeth stronger by affecting
the enamel layer of the teeth and making it more
resistant to tooth decaying acids.

Fluoride is safe for children and adults and
dentists may prescribe fluoride treatments to
help make our teeth more resistant to tooth decay
because it helps with the formation of higher
quality enamel.

Where Does Fluoride Exist Naturally?
Fluoride occurs naturally in all bodies of
waters, from our lakes and streams to our rivers.

Much like the minerals calcium and iron, fluoride
naturally dissolves into freshwater supplies in
the ground. For instance, if you have well water,
chances are there will be fluoride in it.

On the other hand, if your water is provided by
your municipality (city water), then the amount
of fluoride could have been reduced as the water
was treated. However, fluoride can be added back
into treated water to aid in improving dental
health.

Why Do Some People Oppose Fluoride in Drinking
Water?
Granted, there is much misinformation about
fluoride being added to a citys drinking water.

This is largely due to the fact that fluoride is
a mineral that has multiple uses, aside from
helping strengthen our teeths enamel.

Fluoride can be used in the production of pet
foods, cosmetics, fertilizers, ceramics, and
more.

It is from some of these uses that some people
think fluoride is bad for you or believe it is a
by-product or waste-product contained in water
supplies.

By-products and waste are terms often applied to
materials which serve no useful purpose.

Of course, this is not the case with fluoride.
There are benefits gained from ensuring people
receive the proper amount of fluoride, either in
their drinking water or with fluoride treatments
from their dentist, as part of better oral health.
