Best Answer

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.

Does boiling water eliminate the fluoride content?

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.
