General Health Information

The rate of common dental problems
is still higher than it should be because millions of people still live
in communities without fluoridated water. Many of these areas are rural
and tend to be comprised of mainly low-income residents who may not be
aware of dental health products made with fluoride or how they can help
prevent cavities. However, the high rates of tooth decay are not the
only cause for concern. Recent research has revealed an undeniable link
between dental health and heart disease problems. While common dental
health problems such as tooth decay are always cause for concern, far
too little attention is directed towards addressing the
life-threatening gum disease.
