Anyone use a bottled water co for home delivery?

(1/1)

Brookenstein:
My son's dentist reccomended we start using flouridated water.  I called the water co and ours just has 'natural flouride, nothing added'.  So far the only delivery company I have found that offers flouridated water is Sparkletts.  I've never tried their water and the only thing I know about them is that I've seen their trucks in the neighborhood.  That and they are very expensive.  They want just under $10 per 5 gallon container and almost $18/mo to rent the hot/cold dispenser.

So, 1) has anyone used them and 2)does anyone know of another company that offers flouridated water?

Thanks.

We stick to the water coming out of the tap and the filtered water from the fridge. We ran into the same issue with our dentist recommending flouride which our water did not provide adequately but she simply gave us a prescription for vitamins with flouride for the kids. We did that for years at minimal expense.

Brookenstein:
The pediatrician gave the little guy drops and when I inquired about that for the big guy, she said he brushes with a flouridated tooth paste so that is good enough.  When the dentist reccomended a flouride yesterday I thought that would be something he would provide... I use Gel-Cam when I was a kid.  But instead he started naming brands of water.  I dunno, but this kids teeth are starting to be like my husbands car.  I'm stuck paying on them for the rest of my life.   :-/

Brookenstein:
Culligan also offers fluoridated water... they are about a buck less on the water and on the rental.

I've never had either company so I don't know which water would taste 'best'.

Brooke,
      I have well water which has no fluoride in it. When my kids were small our pediatrician gave them fluoride supplements in the form of a vitamin. Their teeth turned out fine. You don't realize, but any prepared juices(like juicy juice, capri sun, etc...) are all made with fluoridated water. Between using fluoride toothpaste and supplements, that should be enough. I don't think I'd go spend a small fortune on water.
