"A fluoride ion is the ionic form of fluorine. Fluorides are organic and inorganic compounds containing the element fluorine. As a halogen, fluorine forms a monovalent ion (−1 charge). Fluoride forms a binary compound with another element or radical. Examples of common fluoride compounds include hydrofluoric acid (HF), and sodium fluoride (NaF)".
"Fluoride containing compounds are added to toothpaste, drinking water, prescribed treatments, and other commercially available oral hygiene products because fluoride proponents believe they help strengthen the tooth enamel. Sodium fluoride and sodium monofluorophosphate (MFP, SMFP) are common additives".
I wonder if the people of Del Rio will stop brushing their teeeth now since Fluoride in every toothpaste on the market. Well, maybe then can find one without it.
Deano, I did hear a conspiracy once that flouride does nothing to fight tooth decay, but it does make your teeth highly visible to detection via satellite... Big Brother...
