Because the benefits are supposed to outweigh the side effects, Flouride is a rat poisin and causes discolouration of the teeth which is permanent, West Texas teeth is a well known condition caused by this poison.
2nd Answer:
Warfarin has been used for years as a safer alternative for heart patients than digitalis. However, in much, much stronger doses is also used a rat poison.
Chocolate has been eaten for years by most people in the world, yet it contains a poison which is not good for humans, and will kill dogs in fairly low amounts.
Water has been around since animals first swam the oceans and walked the Earth, yet if you drink too much, you will die. These deaths have been reported and documented.
Most people have prescriptions for a medicine or two or three, and especially with the antidepressants, they almost always cause moderate to severe problematic side effects.
So, what is the big deal about fluorides in water? (Hint: it's that end users cannot opt out unless they drink bottled water.)

That would be a bad thing. Fluoride is a hardener, that comes from an industrial by-product. For the same reason that you shouldn't swallow toothpaste with fluoride, you would want it to be injected. It has been shown to cause hardening of the arteries and other problems. Good to rinse your teeth with, but not really good for the rest of you.
Is brushing your teeth a chemical change?
It's a physical action without toothpaste. Many toothpaste have inactive ingredients, and are only there to "taste good".

So in some respects it's both!
