I posted the sticker on a faucet because of the many states that offer the fluoridation of water for the states water supply. Some of the benefits of the public health department putting small amounts of fluoride into the water is that slows the demineralization of the enamel on our teeth. This helps to combat having to develop cavities and can even help re-mineralize those areas that were prone to getting cavities. Since we are in Utah they currently do not fluoridate their water. Many are worried that it is unsafe for the body to be taking in fluoride which is not natural to our body. There are also concerns about if the fluoride is even doing any good for the teeth and mouth. This is a public health issue that is constantly being addressed in the state of Utah and should kept being addressed to help adults and children have healthier teeth and mouths.
