Tap water can help teeth stay strong.

Fluoridated tap water is “excellent” for helping teeth remain strong and healthy, it has been claimed.

It has been reported that while tooth enamel is very strong, a lack of nutrients in the diet and the consumption of highly acidic or sugary foods can erode this protective layer over time.

As such, drinking plenty of fluoridated tap water is a good way of maintaining strong enamel and helping the teeth to stay healthy.

Most households across the UK will have access to fluoridated tap water and therefore people have been advised to switch to this beverage, rather than drinking sugary soft drinks.

Elsewhere, Kitchener dentist Harry Hoediono recently told the Record that water should be a key ingredient of every healthy diet, as not only does it help to keep the body hydrated, but it also washes away debris in the mouth and restores natural pH levels after eating and drinking.
