20 samples of different bottled mineral waters produced in Serbia were analysed. Fluoride levels were determined electrochemically, using fluoride-selective electrode, after mixing with TISAB buffer in ratio 1:1. In 3 of 20 samples of bottled mineral waters fluoride levels exceeded 1 mg/L - carbonated mineral water Vrnjci (1.34 mg/L), Heba (1.19 mg/L) and Knjaz Miloš (1.15 mg/L). The results show that carbonated mineral water Vrnjci, Heba and Knjaz Miloš contain fluoride in concentrations similar to recommended value, so they can induce beneficial effects in reducing dental caries. Most of other analyzed bottled waters contain very low fluoride concentrations, indicating that the consumers of those waters need additional fluoride intake via food or fluoride preparations.
