Yes, water can be fluoridated, and sometimes the tap water you drink is already fluoridated. Nevertheless, it can cause adverse health effects.
Indeed, children who drink fluoridated water are at increased risk of developing fluorosis, a defect of the permanent teeth resulting in staining and, in severe cases, substantial corrosion of the enamel. According to the Centers for Disease Control, about 30 percent of children who drink fluoridated water have some degree of fluorosis. The National Academy of Sciences has also raised concerns about fluoride exposure and bone fractures in the elderly, skeletal fluorosis, thyroid hormone disruption, and neurotoxicity (including effects on IQ). In addition, there is evidence that fluoridated water is linked to osteosarcoma, an often fatal form of bone cancer, in boys.
Furthermore, it is dangerous to give your infant formula made with fluoridated water. Both the Centers for Disease control and the American Dental Association now recommend that children under 6 months not consume fluoridated water. This is because infants are at increased risk for tooth damage (dental fluorosis) when they consume fluoridated water (especially when formula made with such water is their only source of nutrition), and because there is little evidence that ingesting fluoride before teeth erupt provides any benefit.
So fluoride exposure should be limited to toothpaste, where it provides the greatest dental benefit and presents the lowest overall health risk.
Ice Mountain does not fluoridate its water. This brand uses 100 percent natural spring water with only naturally occurring minerals.
you can also find it in toothpaste
New Zealand does fluoridate their water, but not all their entire supply of water. Some regions voted against having their water fluoridated.
Not all towns fluoridate the water; Sacramento, CA, for example, does not. Most bottled water is fluoride-free. However, fluoridated water causes very few health problems.
Fluorine forms a very large range of compounds since it is highly reactive (actually it is the most reactive element there is). Teflon and freon are both synthetic fluorine compounds. Fluorine salts such as potassium fluoride are used in toothpaste, or to fluoridate water.
7: The ADA recommends levels of 0.7-1.2 ppm fluoride. So i'd say B, 1 part per million. Just took the test and confirmed correct.
The value of fluoride-containing toothpaste to dental health is clear: fluoride is a potent chemical that kills microbes on the teeth and strengthens teeth's resistance against cavities. On the other hand, a substantial and growing body of peer-reviewed science strongly suggests that ingesting fluoride in tap water does not provide the same dental benefits as applying it directly to the teeth, and may present serious health risks. EWG believes the evidence is clear that fluoride exposure should be limited to toothpaste, where it provides the greatest dental benefit and presents the lowest overall health risk.

Prozac has as its primary active ingredient FluoxetineChemical FormulaC17H18F3NOChemical NameN-methyl-3-phenyl-3-[4-(trifluoromethyl)phenoxy]-propan-1-amineContrary to a previous answer, this compound differs from Fluoride-containing compounds used in topical and systemic fluoride therapy for preventing tooth decay and for water fluoridation, and in many products associated with oral hygiene. Originally, sodium fluoride was used to fluoridate water; hexafluorosilicic acid (H2SiF6) and its salt sodium hexafluorosilicate (Na2SiF6) are more commonly used additives, especially in the United States.
Na + F= NaF which is used in the fluoridation of water. It is also used in toothpaste to prevent tooth decay. However, most cities that fluoridate use silicofluorides. And toothpastes use many different kinds of fluoride. Sodium fluoride is also used as a rat poison and children's fluoride supplements
