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.

What does hypermineralization mean?
Hypermineralization in teeth is the effect of too much exposure to fluoride. Hypermineralization in bones is the effect of too much calcium.
How much fluorine in grams was formed when the mass ratio of sodium to fluorine in sodium fluoride is 1 to 21 to 1 A sample of sodium fluoride produced 27point7 grams of sodium upon decomposition?
To find the mass of fluorine produced, first calculate the mass of sodium fluoride: 27.7 grams of sodium / (1 part sodium / 1 part sodium fluoride) = 27.7 grams of sodium fluoride Now, since the ratio of sodium to fluorine in sodium fluoride is 1:2 (1 part sodium to 2 parts fluorine), the mass of fluorine is 27.7 grams / 2 = 13.85 grams.
How much sodium fluoride is needed to make one bottle of toothpaste?
It can take 256 mg of Fluoride to make one bottle of toothpaste. Fluoride is added to toothpaste to disrupt the process of tooth decay.
How much does fluoride weigh per gallon?
Fluoride does not have a standard weight per gallon as it can exist in various forms and concentrations. However, a common form is sodium fluoride, which has a density of approximately 1.7 grams per cubic centimeter. Therefore, one gallon of sodium fluoride solution would weigh around 14 pounds.
Is toothpaste the compound sodium and fluoride?
No, toothpaste is a very complex mixture.Toothpaste is mostly abrasives, detergents, a source of fluoride, and flavorings. Toothpastes are available withoutany fluoride too, especially for young children as they might swallow the toothpaste and too much fluoride causes brown spots on the teeth and can even be toxic. Other ingredients may include antibacterials, remineralizers, antidrying agents, desensitizing agents, etc.Abrasives used include hydrated silica (which can be made from sand), hydrated alumina, calcium carbonate, and dicalcium phosphates. None of these materials would have any cleaning effect on teeth without the scrubbing action of a toothbrush.The most common source of fluoride is the salt sodium fluoride, but the salt tin fluoride (stannous fluoride), the organic salt olaflur, and the salt sodium monofluorophosphate (Na2PO3F) are also used.
What is the PH of sodium fluoride?
There is no definite pH for any acid or base as it depends as much on the concentration of the substance in a solution as the strength of the acid or base. Still, sodium fluoride is mildly basic so a sodium fluoride solution will have a pH higher than 7.
How does sodium fluoride react with xenon?
No. Xenon is highly unreactive. Xenon will, under special circumstances, react with elemental fluorine, which is much more reactive than fluorides.
How much flouride does it take to kill a person?
The lethal dose of fluoride for an adult is estimated to be around 5 to 10 grams, which is equivalent to about one teaspoon of sodium fluoride. Ingesting this amount can be fatal due to fluoride's toxicity and the potential for causing heart and respiratory failure. It's important to note that fluoride is safe in small amounts and is commonly found in toothpaste and drinking water at levels that are not harmful.
Fluorosis is associated with?
too much fluoride
Too much fluoride can result in?
fluoride toxicity, enamel hypoplasia, fluorosis, and mottled enamel
Why are some elements listed on the label of a vitamin and minerals on a tube of toothpaste or on the label of an antacid?
There term "mineral" in terms of nutrition means some inorganic substance (aside from water) that is essential to the body. Many of these are elements mostly in the form of ions. These include sodium, magnesium, potassium, calcium, zinc, iron, and fluorine (listed as fluoride). These and other substances are essential to human body function but can cause problems if too much is taken. For example too much sodium increases the risk of heart problems. Most antacids contain some salt of calcium, magnesium, sodium or potassium and most dental products contain sodium and fluoride. Some people may want or need to limit their exposure to these substances. Fluoride especially has been the subject of controversy in other uses as it can be toxic if swallowed.
How much fluoride is added in water?
too much. check your levels and get a filter.
