Is Drinking Water Destroying Your Patient's Teeth?

The New York Times just had this eye opening article toxic water supplies and its impact on peoples health. If people have to put on special lotion on their skin aver showering, I can't even imagine the damage that it is doing to their teeth.

I have become attached to my Brita water filter over the years, but doubt that it would stand up to all the toxins in the types of water supplies that the article talks about.

It makes me wonder what being a dentist is like in areas like this. Have you worked with any patients who had difficulty getting access to clean water? How has it impacted their oral health and what have you been able to do to keep them healthy and safe?
