Fluorosilicic acid (H₂SiF₆) is commonly used to treat drinking water by adding fluoride to help prevent tooth decay. It is often applied in municipal water systems to achieve optimal fluoride levels. Another compound, sodium fluoride (NaF), may also be used in some areas for the same purpose. These compounds help promote dental health while ensuring safety standards are maintained.

Apart from drinking Fluoridated tap water, the next most likely means of getting Fluorine into the human body would be by taking certain prescription drugs. Elemental Fluorine is a highly toxic gas and very small doses can be deadly.
What happen when Na bonds with F?
When sodium (Na) bonds with fluorine (F), they form an ionic bond where sodium loses an electron to fluorine. This results in the formation of sodium fluoride (NaF), a compound that is stable and has a crystal lattice structure. Sodium fluoride is commonly used in toothpaste and drinking water as a source of fluoride to promote dental health.
