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.

Where is the majority of the body's flouride stored?
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.
Hydrofluoric acid is stored in a glass bottle for a long time what happens?
The glass bottle is destroyed; the silicon fluoride is formed.
What metals can withstand uranium fluoride corrosion?
Uranium hexafluoride is stored in special stainless steel or monel (a nickel alloy) containers.
Could thermal energy stored in lithium fluoride be used to generate electricity on a spacecraft that was always in a planet shadow?
Yes, thermal energy stored in lithium fluoride could potentially be used to generate electricity on a spacecraft in constant shadow. Lithium fluoride can store heat effectively due to its high heat capacity, allowing it to retain thermal energy. This stored energy could then be converted into electricity using a thermoelectric generator or similar technology, providing a continuous power source despite the lack of sunlight. However, the efficiency and viability would depend on the specific mission parameters and available technology.
How many fluoride ions are in 1.46 moles of aluminum fluoride?
There would be 4.38 moles of fluoride ions in 1.46 moles of aluminum fluoride, as the formula for aluminum fluoride is AlF3 with three fluoride ions per molecule of aluminum fluoride.
