| Strong, healthy teeth for life! |
Drs.
Ryan Bailey and William Bacon at South Coast Family Dentistry serving Coos Bay and North Bend, OR join the
ADA and ODA to support water fluoridation to prevent dental disease.
Fluoride
is nature's cavity fighter, occurring naturally in the earth's crust, in
combination with other minerals in rocks and soil. Small amounts of fluoride
occur naturally in all water sources, and varying amounts of the mineral are
found in all foods and beverages. Water fluoridation is the process of
adjusting the natural level of fluoride to a concentration sufficient to
protect against tooth decay. Flouride minerals bind to enamel to strengthen the
structure of the tooth, and this can be key for children as their teeth
develop.

Association is doing for Portland area residents in the fight for
children's health, read more here.
