Fluoride itself is a monatmic ion of the element fluorine. It must be paired with a positive ion to form a compound. The fluoride in toothpaste is sodium fluoride. Some people confuse fluoride with the mineral fluorite (calcium fluoride), which is a compound.
Fluoride ions in small amounts strengthen the surface of tooth enamel, hydroxyapatite. In an area where drinking water contains no natural traces of fluoride people get more caries and need more fillings. In some countries fluoride is added to drinking water.
