No. Fluoride causes dental fluorosis, a condition that makes teeth hard and brittle with discoloration, chipping and pitting of the enamel. It's estimated by the Centers for Disease Control that one-third of the children in the United States have dental fluorosis. In Canada the numbers are lower due to less fluoride in the water: Health Canada estimates between 12 and 14 percent incidence of fluorosis. Furthermore new studies show that the supposed benefits of fluoridation are nonexistent. The National Institute of Dental Research conducted the largest study to date on fluoride's effects on teeth with over 39,000 children ages 5 to 17 and found no significant differences between fluoridated and non-fluoridated communities. Another study in New York State found that the only significant difference is that fluoridated Newburgh, New York, has twice the dental fluorosis of non-fluoridated Kingston, New York.
Note: Some of the above information has been contradicted by scientific studies. For another perspective, see Related Links, below.
Fluoride in water was originally used in Nazi concentration camps to pacify their prisoners.
It was later adopted by the soviet Socialist Republic in mass affect towards their own natives as a means of quelling revolts and uprising against their own government.
Outside of the political arena it was discovered that being a toxin, and combined with an abrasive or "pumice" on the teeth our bodies would defend itself by pushing calcium to our teeth and harden the surface of our teeth as a defense against this toxin.
There has been no scientific study of advantages to fluoridated water. Fluoride actually exists naturally in water in at least trace amounts. However higher consumption can lead to a condition called fluoridosis and potentially death. Fluoride is actually toxic to animal life, especially humans.
If you study the history of water fluoridation, you will learn two things: the first US city to have its water supply fluoridated was Grand Rapids, Michigan, and the above.

Yes. Fluoride is added to drinking water to strengthen dental enamel. Fluoride additives and treatments are also used where a higher level is desirable, but most fluoride is applied as toothpaste. There have been instances where the natural level of fluoride ions in well water was high enough to cause problems, including badly stained teeth in children.
Yes, because fluorine (the ion fluoride F- in solution) can prevent teeth cavities, strenghtening the enamel.
To dumb down the American population and make them slaves. The first time Fluorine was used was in Nazi concentration camps to decrease agression.
The amount of fluoride that is in public drinking water is safe.
No
High flouride would have a high acid taste and would burn. However, flouride is only added in tiny amounts to flourinated drinking water.
flouride
The government uses it to keep us docile.
Flouride
Flouride is a chemical that can be found in the periodic table of elements. It originates from flouride minerals that are less than 1 gram on average.
Flouride is not pison in the water jug if it was why would they sell it then
yes
yes
Fluoride is added to drinking water to prevent tooth decay
Flouride.. :)
Paris Hilton says hi
No they do not. The only system that would remove the flouride would be reverse osmosis. Thanks!
