Check Out My NEW Line of Toothpaste and Professional Dental Varnish!!Today I am going to talk to you about something very seemingly simple - water. Why should you listen to a dentist about drinking water? The obvious answer is fluoride in your water, which I am going to touch on. I will give you some hints on how to get rid of fluoride in your water, but today is about distilled water. I will talk about why we should be distilling water, and if not at least filtering. I’ll touch on why this is important and how it relates to your oral health.Topics Discussed:03:52 - Deciding to use distilled water07:31 - Importance of clean water10:30 - What is distilled water?11:40 - Importance of water in the body14:04 - Assessing the problem with water15:30 - Claims against distilled water16:40 - The risks of well water and the filtration process21:09 - Microplastics in water and the affect on children22:51 - Fluoride in the water24:31 - Knowing the different impurities in your drinking water25:10 - Debunking the myth that “distilled water is too pure”31:46 - Safety and quality claims39:09 - Oral health is the key to overall healthSponsored By:BiOptimizers: Magnesium Breakthrough www.magbreakthrough.com/askthedentistCode ASKTHEDENTIST gets you 10% off any orderShow Links:Water DistillerReverse OsmosisTable Top and Travel FiltersElectrolytes Microplastic Free SaltCheck Out My NEW Line of Toothpaste and Professional Dental Varnish!!Check out Dr. B's website for more information: https://askthedentist.comSubscribe to Dr. B's newsletter Mondays with Mark: https://askthedentist.com/newsletter
