It was discovered that public water systems with it naturally occurring had lower rates of cavities.<\/p>\n<p>In 1945, Grand Rapids, Michigan, was the first community in the United States to add it to its water supply. Lower rates of schoolchildren with cavities followed.<\/p>\n<p>As the news of improved dental health spread, cities and towns across North America, including Canada, followed suit. In 2008, an estimated 72% of U.S. Residents served by public water systems had access to fluoridated drinking water. By 2009, 45% of Canadians enjoyed the same benefit.<\/p>\n<p>The CDC named adding fluoride to public water supplies one of the ten most outstanding public health achievements of the 20th century<\/p>\n<p>However, in 2015, it was found that while community water fluoridation was effective for reducing tooth decay among children, \u201cno studies aimed to determine the effectiveness of water fluoridation for preventing caries [cavities] in adults met the review\u2019s inclusion criteria.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-23835 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.filtersfast.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/woman-looking-at-teeth-in-the-mirror.jpg\" alt=\"Young woman pointing at teeth \" width=\"1254\" height=\"836\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.filtersfast.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/woman-looking-at-teeth-in-the-mirror.jpg 1254w, https:\/\/blog.filtersfast.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/woman-looking-at-teeth-in-the-mirror-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/blog.filtersfast.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/woman-looking-at-teeth-in-the-mirror-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.filtersfast.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/woman-looking-at-teeth-in-the-mirror-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1254px) 100vw, 1254px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Is fluoride bad for you?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>High levels can be dangerous. Excessive amounts can cause dental fluorosis, which causes tooth enamel to have white spots, staining, and pitting. Learn more about it in our blog, <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.filtersfast.com\/blog\/fluoride-water-can-harm-teeth\/\">Too Much Fluoride in Water Can Harm Your Teeth<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>However, dental health isn&#8217;t the only concern regarding fluoride in water. Several reasons exist for why someone might consider removing fluoride from their drinking water:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Cost:<\/strong> Adding fluoride to water costs $0.60 to $1 per person per year.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Lack of Control:<\/strong> Individuals with a municipal water source cannot control fluoride amounts.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Health Risks:<\/strong> Beyond dental fluorosis, there are other potential health issues:<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These considerations present a compelling case for those questioning the necessity and safety of fluoride in their drinking water.<\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2>What levels of fluoride are safe?<\/h2>\n<p>According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), fluoridated water is safe when naturally present or added correctly.<\/p>\n<p>Health authorities recommend specific fluoride levels in drinking water to maintain oral health.<\/p>\n<p>The CDC recommends 0.7 milligrams per liter (mg\/L) for optimal dental health benefits. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recommends a max of 2.0 mg\/L to prevent potential health risks. Meanwhile, the Guidelines for Canadian Drinking Water Quality are set at a maximum concentration of 1.5 mg\/L in Canada.<\/p>\n<p>These recommendations are in place to prevent tooth decay while also minimizing the risk of overexposure.<\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2>What are the risks of too much fluoride?<\/h2>\n<p>A primary risk of too much fluoride intake is developing skeletal fluorosis, a bone disease caused by consuming high levels over a long period of time.<\/p>\n<p>As it accumulates in the bones, it becomes denser and more brittle. This can lead to reduced flexibility, joint stiffness, and a higher chance of bone fractures.<\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2>How Does Fluoride in Drinking Water Compare to Using Fluoride Toothpaste or Mouthwash?<\/h2>\n<p>Fluoride&#8217;s effectiveness is often debated. Here&#8217;s what we know:<\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3>Drinking Water Fluoridation<\/h3>\n<p>Drinking fluoridated water continuously delivers the benefit each time a person hydrates. Constant exposure can help reinforce the tooth enamel and prevent tooth decay.<\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3>Fluoride Toothpaste and Mouthwash<\/h3>\n<p>Toothpaste and mouthwash with fluoride are beneficial because they are applied topically. These products come in direct contact with the teeth&#8217;s surface, which can help rebuild weak tooth enamel and even reverse early tooth decay. However, these products must be used consistently to get the benefit.<\/p>\n<p>Consistent exposure is key to getting the benefits.<\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2>Is my water fluoridated?<\/h2>\n<p>You can research water quality by state, county, and water system using the CDC&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/nccd.cdc.gov\/DOH_MWF\/Default\/Default.aspx\">My Water&#8217;s Fluoride<\/a> tool. You can also contact your local water supplier to inquire about water quality.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Can Boiling Water Remove Fluoride?<\/h2>\n<p>No, boiling water is not an effective method for reducing fluoride in water. Boiling water will increase its concentration.<\/p>\n<p>Boiling water produces steam, which reduces water volume. This can lead to higher concentrations. Fluoride compounds are stable and remain in water even at boiling temperatures.<\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2>Does reverse osmosis remove fluoride?<\/h2>\n<p>Reverse osmosis is one of the most advanced water filtration systems available today. The semipermeable membrane can reduce fluoride by 85-92%. Typically installed under a kitchen sink, RO systems are a convenient and premium point-of-use solution for improving water quality.<\/p>\n<p>While an RO system effectively reduces fluoride, it also addresses various contaminants, including lead and mercury, and various particles and impurities in tap water.<\/p>\n<h3>Applied Membranes Reverse Osmosis Membrane<\/h3>\n<p>If you&#8217;re looking for an RO membrane for your existing Applied Membranes, Inc AAA-125, AAA-125P, AAA-126UV RainSoft TFC-RS12-10 or EcoWater ERO-300 system that will reduce fluoride, this replacement filter is the perfect fit.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.filtersfast.com\/p-applied-membranes-m-t1512a12-ro-membrane.asp\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-23840 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.filtersfast.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/home_ro_membrane_nsf.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"218\" height=\"236\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.filtersfast.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/home_ro_membrane_nsf.jpg 461w, https:\/\/blog.filtersfast.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/home_ro_membrane_nsf-277x300.jpg 277w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 218px) 100vw, 218px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Applied Membranes M-T1512A12 Reverse Osmosis Membrane<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a class=\"ffbutton\" href=\"https:\/\/www.filtersfast.com\/add-from-blog.asp?ProductID=2481\">Add to Cart\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>How do you remove fluoride from drinking water?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Filters Fast offers a few different filter options.
