[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="633"]pixabay.com[/caption] Honestly, it's not to hard to see why someone would be paranoid these days about what's in the water. For instance, the Dakota Access Pipeline threatens clean water in the Missouri River and its tributaries. Residents in Flint, Michigan have already suffered from excessive lead exposure, and litigation against those responsible is still going on. And because of improper irrigation methods, fertilizers and pesticides can end up in the water--in fact, panda.org says that agriculture is the top source of pollution for lots of countries! Additionally, a recent article that was presented at Medline Plus showed that these farming chemicals affected the oral cavity:
With all these different chemicals possibly floating in the water, many people's concerns have also turned to fluoridation. Many communities are voting against it now because they believe that it is dangerous. However, fluoridated water has been used in the U.S. for more than seven decades. The surgeon general even released a report recently, confirming his recommendation of this practice. There are many studies that show that it can lower the cost of dental care as well as reduce cavities. But because people are so concerned with fluoridated water now, a society has actually been established to educate people and help them understand that this practice is much different than pesticides, lead, and other contaminants:
As Dr. Johnson says in this article, dentists need to reach out and consult their patients before taking any action. If you are still paranoid and want the best of both worlds, you could opt for topical fluoride treatments at your local office (these are great since you don't ingest them) and then drink water that isn't fluoridated. But again, your dentist can enlighten you on the correct dosage of fluoride. Even if you get too much, the only downside that's been established is fluorosis, which is a discoloration of the enamel.
