Bottled Water Cited as Contributing to Cavity Comeback

Tooth decay is on the rise again. Not only is this decay caused by junk food and sweets, new studies have revealed that bottled water has heightened the levels of tooth decay as well. It is not the bottled water itself causing the decay, but it is the lack of fluoride found in the bottled water. As bottled water sales increase, the use of tap water decreases. This then leads to a decrease in fluoride intake and an increase in dentist visits.
