Having the right amount of fluoride in your diet is vital for good oral health. We all typically purchase fluoridated toothpaste and most people are aware that it is added to public water systems as important public health measure so that you get it in your home directly from your faucets. However, did you know that you can find fluoride in a variety of other naturally occurring sources? Or that when manufacturing facilities use fluoridated “tap” water in making their products, that you can find fluoride in their products? Fluoride can be found in energy drinks, fruit juices, and canned goods (notably soups, fish and chicken). You can also find fluoride in soda, wine, and beer!
