Water and Oral Health, A Conversation on Water Purity

Ask the Dentist with Dr. Mark Burhenne

Today I am going to talk to you about something very seemingly simple - water. Why should you listen to a dentist about drinking water? The obvious answer is fluoride in your water, which I am going to touch on. I will give you some hints on how to get rid of fluoride in your water, but today is about distilled water. I will talk about why we should be distilling water, and if not at least filtering. I’ll touch on why this is important and how it relates to your oral health.
