smooth connected affine scheme over Z has good reduction almost everywhere

Let $f(x_1,\ldots,x_n)\in\mathbf{Z}[x_1,\ldots,x_n]$ be a polynomial. Assume that $f$ is a smooth connected (so irreducible) over $\overline{\mathbf{Q}}$. Where can I find a proof of the following classical result: for almost all primes $p$, $f\pmod{p}$ is a smooth $\mathbb{F}_p$-scheme.
