Best Answer

Flouride is the anion, or negatively charged ion, of flourine. Flourides are used as an agent to prevent cavities, as well as used in polymers to form flouropolymers, which are commonly used in non-stick coatings on pans due to their high heat resistance. Flourides are possible toxins though this is dependent on the flouride as well as it's solubility and reactivity.
