The primary benefit, and the only one I know, is the reduction in cavities in teeth. The fluoride strengthens the teeth. I only drink my well water which does not have fluoride, so I must take extra care to brush my teeth.
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 commonly found in nature as the mineral fluorite (calcium fluoride). It is also present in certain rocks and minerals, as well as in bodies of water and soil. Additionally, fluoride is added to many dental products and drinking water for its oral health benefits.
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.
Fluoride is found in tap water, but in some states it isn't in they're water.
Fluoride can be obtained through dental products like toothpaste and mouthwash that contain fluoride, as well as through drinking water in some communities where fluoride is added for dental health benefits. Additionally, fluoride treatments can be provided by a dentist during a dental visit.
Fluoride is naturally found in water, soil, and some foods. It benefits our dental health by strengthening tooth enamel, making it more resistant to decay and cavities.
Fluoride is a natural component in some waters and absent in others.
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.
Boiling water can remove some chlorine, but not fluoride. Chlorine evaporates when water is boiled, reducing its presence. However, fluoride remains in the water even after boiling.

I've read some ice mountain products contain fluoride.
Boiling water does not remove fluoride; in fact, it can concentrate the fluoride content. When water is boiled, some of the water evaporates, but the fluoride remains in the liquid. To remove fluoride, more advanced methods such as reverse osmosis, distillation, or activated alumina filtration are required.
Yes, fluoride can evaporate from water, especially in open containers or during boiling. The implications of this process on water quality and public health include potential reduction in the effectiveness of fluoride in preventing tooth decay, as well as the risk of overexposure to fluoride if the concentration increases in the remaining water. It is important to monitor fluoride levels in water to ensure optimal dental health benefits without causing harm.
It is good for teeth
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.
