Fluoride toothpaste is a active key ingredient in toothpaste that fights cavities, gingivitis, plaque build-up, tartar and bad breath(from the bacteria in your mouth). It is in all toothpaste's such as Colgate or Crest. On the label it says not to swallow and that it should be external use, not internal. Unfortunately, according to recent studies on Oral and dental health care, people have died from ingesting fluoride toothpaste, so they are trying to come up with alternative solutions to this problem.

Does distillation remove fluoride from water?
Distillation does remove at least some fluoride - this is why a dentist will recommend fluoride treatment at your 6-month dental cleaning if you drink distilled or filtered water. However, to get all the fluoride out the water would have to be deionized.
Does boiling water eliminate the fluoride content?
But merely boiling the water will not eliminate the fluoride and can in fact concentrate it because you have the same amount of fluoride in less water. You can distill the water. Meaning you can boil the water then capture the steam, which will be pure. But the process is expensive. You need special filters to remove the fluoride.
