Fluoridated water is commonly available in most municipalities, as many public water systems add fluoride to their supply. You can also find bottled water that contains fluoride at grocery stores and online retailers. Additionally, some water filtration systems are designed to retain fluoride, allowing you to have access to fluoridated water at home. Always check labels to ensure the water contains the desired fluoride levels.
Fluoride can be found in toothpaste, mouthwash, and tap water in areas where it is added to promote dental health. It can also be obtained through professional fluoride treatments at the dentist's office.
Fluoride is water soluble. It dissolves in water to form fluoride ions.
Boiling water does not remove fluoride. If you want to reduce the fluoride content in water, you may consider using a water filter specifically designed to remove fluoride or opting for bottled water labeled as fluoride-free.

No. Boiling water will not remove fluoride. Distilling it will.
Yes, fluoride can evaporate from water when it is heated.
Pure water does not contain fluoride, but much drinking water does contain fluoride that is deliberately added to reduce tooth decay of children who drink the water. Some drinking water supplies also contain fluoride naturally.
But merely boiling the water will not eliminate the fluoride and can in fact concentrate it because you have the same amount of fluoride in less water. You can distill the water. Meaning you can boil the water then capture the steam, which will be pure. But the process is expensive. You need special filters to remove the fluoride.
No, a water softener does not remove fluoride. It only removes hardness-causing minerals like calcium and magnesium. To remove fluoride, you need a different system, like reverse osmosis.
Fluoride is added to public drinking water to help prevent cavities.
Yes, fluoride can evaporate from water, but the rate of evaporation is very slow.
