Ave .1 ppm: Most spring water has some Fluoride but its a function of the geology of the spring. Ive read the average Fluoride concentration in bottled spring water is lees than .1 ppm. Best to have it tested to know for sure or call the manufacturer and ask.

There might be: Fluoride is a naturally occurring substance that is normally present in the water in many areas. On long island we have no naturally occurring Fluoride in our water. In some parts of the mid-west the natural concentration can be as high as 3 ppm. Most commercial spring water is very low in fluoride, but depends on where the water comes from.

Location, location..: Fluoride is naturally found in spring water, but not everywhere so get it tested. In the 1920's dentists noticed that many colorado residents had brown stain teeth but no decay! it took them years to figure out the reason: Fluoride in the well water! they found the optimal amount that prevented decay with minimal or no stain and in the 1950's started adding it to municipal water systems.
