Most bottled waters and home treatment systems greatly reduce or eliminate the decay preventative effects of optimally fluoridated water (1.0 ppm). People without access to fluoridated water should take fluoride supplements. This is especially important in children and anyone experiencing a dry mouth.

Cavity Killer - If you tend to get cavities, chew on this: Gum that is sweetened with xylitol can help prevent tooth decay. Study participants who chewed on gum with xylitol after meals had far fewer cavity-causing bacteria in their mouths five minutes afterward than people who chewed gum sweetened with sorbitol or people who didn't chew gum at all. Check the label on your favorite gum to see if it contains the cavity-fighting ingredient.
