Consumers over the years have raised concerns about fluoride used in municipal water supplies and also in toothpaste.

The federal Department of Health and Human Services recently reduced the optimal ratio of fluoride to water to 0.7 parts per million. If you have young children, please contact us for additional preventive measures you should follow.
