| A Lifetime of Healthy Teeth! |
Dr. Damion Gilday at Village Plaza Dental in Eugene, OR joins the ADA and ODA to support water fluoridation to prevent dental disease.
Fluoride is nature's cavity fighter, occurring naturally in the earth's crust, in combination with other minerals in rocks and soil. Small amounts of fluoride occur naturally in all water sources, and varying amounts of the mineral are found in all foods and beverages. Water fluoridation is the process of adjusting the natural level of fluoride to a concentration sufficient to protect against tooth decay. Flouride minerals bind to enamel to strengthen the structure of the tooth, and this can be key for children as their teeth develop.
