All Smiles For Scottish Water
Scottish Water is delighted to announce that we are the first and only water company, not just in the UK, but in the world, to achieve accreditation for our product, Scottish drinking water, from the British Dental Health Foundation.
The BDHF has given their smiley face logo as their stamp of approval to the sugar-free, fresh, quality drinking water which comes straight out of the kitchen tap in the heart of your home.
An independent panel of recognized dental experts approved our scientific evidence-based claim that Scottish water contains no sugar. Drinking 6 to 8 glasses of Scottish drinking water every day helps you have healthier teeth and gums.
Dr Nigel Carter, chief executive of the Foundation, commented: "One of the biggest challenges faced by the Foundation is educating people on the dangers of too frequent consumption of sugar.
"Sugary drinks are a particular problem and, as they are often sipped throughout the day, can cause the teeth to be placed under almost constant acid attack. Water, along with milk, is the only drink that the Foundation recommends as completely safe for teeth.
"It contains no sugar, no calories and no acid and, from a holistic point of view, by guarding against everything from headaches to heart disease, it is massively important to a person's overall health."
"We are delighted to set this precedent by granting Scottish Water the use of our official Approved Stamp and hope that this will serve to make people more aware of the very real health benefits of drinking water." 
However, continually choosing drinks which are carbonated and contain high levels of sugar can be very bad for your teeth. This can cause tooth decay and enamel erosion. Fortunately, people are becoming more aware of healthy living and are choosing sugar-free alternatives.
The BDHF awarding Scottish Water their stamp of Approval is a timely reminder to people in Scotland that they have a healthy, sugar free drink that is on tap in the heart of their home 24/7.
Scottish Water’s Director of Communications, Chris Wallace, is delighted to be a world beater, and welcomed the accolade from the British Dental Health Foundation:
“Keeping yourself topped up with around 2 litres of Scottish drinking water, the recommended daily amount, can help cleanse your teeth. It will help remove excess bacteria and food debris from snacks but, most importantly, it helps you stay properly hydrated. This helps your body to produce the right amounts of saliva, which is your body’s natural protector of teeth and gums.”
And best of all, it couldn’t be easier to switch to sugar-free Scottish drinking water. For less than a pound a day you can fill your glass as many times as you want, keeping you hydrated and healthy.
