Ronald Frost DDS, an established Redmond cosmetic dentist, notes that many of his health-conscious patients consume an increasing amount of bottled water, which could potentially lead to a negative impact on the teeth enamel. Those individuals could be missing the decay-protecting benefits of fluoride that in most communities is added to tap water.
According to the American Dental Association, the vast majority of bottle waters don’t contain the optimal levels of fluoride and some contain none at all as it is often lost in the treatment process before bottling. To prevent tooth decay, water should contain 0.7 to 1.2 ppm of fluoride. This could be particularly important for people looking to improve their teeth alignment as teeth could get more vulnerable as they shift. As a premier provider of Invisalign Redmond, Dr. Frost urges families to consider the amount of bottled water consumed each day, whether it is used in meal preparation, and whether there are other sources of water with optimal levels of fluoride, such as tap water at a school or day care, are utilized. He also notes that some home water treatment systems can potentially remove fluoride from water during the reverse osmosis or distillation processes, and urges patients to refer to the appliance’s manual for information.
Redmond cosmetic and family dentist Dr. Frost provides comprehensive treatment in all areas of dentistry in a comfortable and relaxed environment. The services range from family and cosmetic dentistry to orthodontics and simple cleanings and teeth bleaching. He is also one of the few providers of Invisalign Redmond.
