Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral that can strengthen enamel, which in turn makes the teeth resistant to decay. Over the years, it has been the subject of intense dental research. Experts have now proven that fluoridated water alone can reduce the occurrence of tooth decay by up to 40 to 60 percent, and toothpaste with added fluoride has been found to help reduce decay by up to 50 percent.

You may be more aware of fluoride’s critics. This is because the use of fluoride has been challenged again and again. What’s important to realize is that no scientific evidence has been found to prove adverse effects of water fluoridation.

On January 25,1945 - Grand Rapids, Michigan became the first city in the world to adjust the level of fluoride in its water supply. Since then, cities across the country have enhanced their water supplies with fluoridation and it has dramatically improved the oral health of tens of millions of Americans. In fact, the American Dental Association reports that community water fluoridation is the single most effective public health measure to prevent tooth decay. And The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has proclaimed community water fluoridation as one of 10 great public health achievements of the 20th century. Today, over 72% of the U.S. population is served by public water systems characterized by optimally fluoridated water.

Trying out a New Dentist

We don’t always know what to ask about or what kind of threats could possibly be wreaking havoc on our teeth and gums. We don’t always know the best methods for prevention or how often we should be coming in. Much like going to the mechanic, most of us are at the mercy of our Dentist and just hoping to high heaven that they are a decent individual with supreme knowledge and skill.

That can be intimidating , especially when starting with a new Dentist!

Dr. Stelmach and his staff understand this dental reality. We want you to be confident that when you are in that dreaded dental chair that your teeth and you are in good hands.

One way you can be assured that Dr. Stelmach will be the perfect dentist for you is to review his leading  ratings on Sites such as Dr. Oogle and Yelp! where countless other patients have shared their experience
