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.
