Fluoride primarily affects the teeth by strengthening tooth enamel and helping to prevent tooth decay. When ingested, fluoride can also accumulate in bones and help to increase bone density. However, excessive fluoride intake can lead to dental fluorosis, a condition that affects the appearance of the teeth.
Fluoride can enter your body through drinking fluoridated water, consuming foods and beverages made with fluoridated water, using fluoride toothpaste, or receiving fluoride treatments at the dentist. It can also be present in some medications and supplements.
Fluoride is considered a trace mineral. It is required by the body in very small amounts for dental health, but excessive intake can be harmful and lead to fluoride toxicity.
Ingesting large amounts of sodium fluoride can be harmful to your body, especially to your bones and teeth. However, it is commonly used in dental products like toothpaste to prevent cavities and is safe when used as directed. It is not typically harmful to your skin unless you have a specific sensitivity or allergy.
Fluoride does not specifically target the pineal gland. However, fluoride can accumulate in various tissues in the body, including the pineal gland, through the bloodstream. The extent of fluoride accumulation in the pineal gland and its impact on pineal gland function is still an area of ongoing research and debate.
Fluoride deficiency is typically measured by assessing the concentration of fluoride in a person's urine, blood, or saliva. More commonly, the presence of dental caries (cavities) may indicate fluoride deficiency as fluoride helps protect teeth against decay. A healthcare provider can perform specific tests to evaluate fluoride levels in the body to determine if a deficiency is present.
The Skeleton.
Calcium fluoride does not actually occur naturally in the human body and as such doesn't really contain a function. Outside of the body it is used in the production of materials.
The majority of fluoride in the body is stored in bones and teeth. About 99% of the body's fluoride is found in these tissues, where it helps to strengthen and protect them.
Fluoride can enter your body through drinking fluoridated water, consuming foods and beverages made with fluoridated water, using fluoride toothpaste, or receiving fluoride treatments at the dentist. It can also be present in some medications and supplements.

Fluoride has a sedating effect. It is the ACTIVE ingredient found in anti-agression medication. Fluoride gas chambers anyone? The masses are simply too sedated to care or act.
Fluoride is considered a trace mineral. It is required by the body in very small amounts for dental health, but excessive intake can be harmful and lead to fluoride toxicity.
I cant quite explain what fluoride is, but one side effect is that it'll stop a type coating building up on your teeth.
Fluoride is only used by the body when it is in direct contact with teeth, they help fight caries in the earlier stages. There can also be some minor benefit to bone structure. Fluoride itself is not stored by the human body, because it is not a nutrient, it is an activating agent. Fluoride is toxic to the human body and ingesting fluoride will not help the teeth, instead it will be a strain on the body and consuming large amounts of fluoride will kill you. So don't eat toothpaste or drink mouthwash containing fluoride. Fluoridated water poses no health risk because of the low concentration, but can significantly improve dental health - especially in low-income areas. In other areas fluoride is present enough (in tooth-paste and other sources) to render the fluoridation of drinking water useless.
Potential side effects of fluoride on the body may include dental fluorosis, skeletal fluorosis, and possible neurotoxic effects. It is important to use fluoride in moderation and consult with a healthcare professional for guidance on safe levels of consumption.
In high concentrations, soluble fluoride salts aretoxic and skin or eye contact with high concentrations of many fluoride salts is dangerous. Referring to a common salt of fluoride, sodium fluoride (NaF), the lethal dose for most adult humans is estimated at 5 to 10 g (which is equivalent to 32 to 64 mg/kg elemental fluoride/kg body weight) Ingestion of fluoride can produce gastrointestinal discomfort at doses at least 15 to 20 times lower (0.2-0.3 mg/kg) than lethal doses. Although helpful for dental health in low dosage, chronic exposure to fluoride in large amounts interferes with bone formation. In this way, the greatest examples of fluoride poisoning arises from fluoride-rich ground water.
