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.
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.
You can find water without fluoride in certain brands of bottled water that specifically state that they are fluoride-free. You can also install a filtration system at home that is designed to remove fluoride from tap water, such as reverse osmosis or activated alumina filters.
Yes, ammonium fluoride is soluble in water. It forms a colorless solution when dissolved in water.
At SATP? Not to any noticeable or concentration-changing extent, no. Fluoride evaporates at about the same rate as water, it's more likely to chemically break down than evaporate out of a still water reservoir. ------- Fluoride itself is F- and cannot chemically break down in this manner. However water is usually treated with a larger molecule that contains the fluoride ion (eg Sodium Fluoride, NaF, --> Na+ F-). HF and other chemicals may then be formed although will still associate and dissociate in water, however it is irrelevant - the presence of the Fluoride ion is of dental benefit and that's why it is there.

yes
No. Boiling water will not remove fluoride. Distilling it will.
Yes, fluoride can evaporate from water when it is heated.
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.

Distillation does remove at least some fluoride - this is why a dentist will recommend fluoride treatment at your 6-month dental cleaning if you drink distilled or filtered water. However, to get all the fluoride out the water would have to be deionized.
usually bottled water does not have fluoride in it unless they advertise that it does (like nursery water or water specifically for kids they may add fluoride to those)
