	Fluoride - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Sodium fluoride, sodium fluorophosphate (SMFP), and sodium monofluorophosphate (MFP) are common additives.
		Fluoride is best known for its use in small quantities to help reduce dental caries (cavity) frequency in teeth.
		Fluoride compounds, usually calcium fluoride, are naturally found in low concentration in drinking water and some foods, such as tea.

	Sodium fluoride - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Sodium fluoride is an ionic compound whose formula is NaF.
		It was once used to fluoridate water; however, hexafluorosilicic acid (H
		Sodium fluoride is also an ingredient in toothpaste that prevents cavities.

	FLUORIDE & BONE: An Annotated Bibliography
		To understand how fluoride alters bone mass it is important to understand the differences in how fluoride affects the two types of bone of the human skeleton: trabecular bone and cortical bone.
		Fluoride is well known to cause osteosclerosis, a bone condition marked by an increase of bone mass.
		Fluoride's osteosclerotic properties are what prompted the medical community to begin using fluoride as a treatment for osteoporosis (see Section 2).

	Biological Effect of Fluorides
		Fluoride exposure disrupts the synthesis of collagen and leads to the breakdown of collagen in bone, tendon, muscle, skin, cartilage, lungs, kidney and trachea.
		Fluoride stimulates granule formation and oxygen consumption in white blood cells, but inhibits these processes when the white blood cell is challenged by a foreign agent in the blood.
		Fluoride ingestion from mouth rinses and dentifrices in children is extremely hazardous to biological development, life span and general health.

	Chronic administration of aluminum-fluoride or sodium- fluoride to rats in drinking water: alterations in neuronal and ...
		Fluoride commonly occurs in food and water and is almost completely and quickly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract.
		As dietary sources of fluoride are additive in animals it was considered that, for the animals in the NaF group, the fluoride in rat chow, such as Purina Rodent Laboratory Chow, together with their drinking exceeded tolerable levels.
		Further studies of aluminum fluoride and sodium fluoride are needed to establish the relative importance of a variety of potential mechanisms contributing to the observed effects as well as to determine the potential involvement of these agents in neurogenerative diseases.

	MedlinePlus Drug Information: Sodium Fluoride (Systemic) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Sodium fluoride occurs naturally in water and has not been shown to cause problems in infants of mothers who drank fluoridated water or took appropriate doses of supplements.
		Doses of sodium fluoride that are too large or are taken for a long time may cause bone problems and teeth discoloration in children.
		The level of fluoride present in the water is different in different parts of the U.S. If you move to another area, check with a health care professional in the new area as soon as possible to see if this medicine is still needed or if the dose needs to be changed.

	Sodium Fluoride, Eastern Carolina
		Sodium fluoride is used to prevent dental cavities and might be effective in the treatment of osteoporosis.
		Therefore, people taking sodium fluoride to treat osteoporosis should probably supplement with calcium to prevent this adverse effect.
		Therefore, sodium fluoride should be taken an hour before or two hours after a meal, or any snack containing milk, ice cream, yogurt, or cheese.

	ATSDR - ToxFAQs™: Fluorine, Hydrogen Fluoride, and Fluorides
		Hydrogen fluoride and fluorine are naturally-occurring gases that are very irritating to the skin, eyes, and respiratory tract.
		Fluorides are often added to drinking water supplies and to a variety of dental products, including toothpaste and mouth rinses, to prevent dental cavities.
		Fluorides released to the air from volcanoes and industry are carried by wind and rain to nearby water, soil, and food sources.

	FLUORIDE (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Fluoride is a persistent and non-degradable poison that accumulates in soil, plants, wildlife, and humans.
		To call sodium fluoride an "inert" is Orwellian and defies one of the NOS's stated principles: producers shall not use "natural poisons such as arsenic or lead salts that have long-term effects and persist in the environment." Fluoride is clearly in this category.
		Sodium fluoride is used as a rodenticide and insecticide (mainly for roaches and ants), as a disinfectant for fermentation apparatus in breweries and distilleries, in wood preservation, and in rimmed steel manufacture (ATSDR, p 138).

		Arguments remain about whether fluoride is needed after the teeth have been formed, but all authorities agree that fluoride is needed through age ten.
		Adults probably don't require dietary fluoride, although painting teeth with sodium fluoride paste by the dentist is still felt to be helpful, as is use of a fluoride toothpaste.
		In states where fluoride is available only by prescription, request a prescription from your doctor or dentist on a routine visit.

	Fluoride
		It is characterized by diffuse opacities and under-mineralized enamel.
		Fluorides are cumulative and build-up steadily with ingestion of fluoride from all sources, which include not just water but the air we breathe and the food we eat.
		The use of fluoride toothpaste in dental hygiene and the coating of teeth are further sources of substantial levels of fluoride intake.

		Fluoride is found in many common household products, including toothpaste (eg, sodium monofluorophosphate), dietary supplements (eg, sodium fluoride), glass-etching or chrome-cleaning agents (eg, ammonium bifluoride), and insecticides and rodenticides (eg, sodium fluoride).
		Fluoride has direct cytotoxic effects and interferes with a number of enzyme systems; it disrupts oxidative phosphorylation, glycolysis, coagulation, and neurotransmission (by binding calcium).
		Fluoride inhibits acetylcholinesterase, which may be partly responsible for hypersalivation, vomiting, and diarrhea (cholinergic signs).

	FLUORIDE
		Fluoride has been linked in government and scientific reports to a wide range of harmful health effects, including: bone and tooth decay (including dental and skeletal fluorosis, bone pathology, arthritis, and osteoporosis) Alzheimer's, memory loss and other neurological impairment, kidney damage, cancer, genetic damage, and gastrointestinal problems.
		Although calcium fluoride can occur naturally, the type of fluoride (sodium) added to municipal water is a hazardous waste product of the aluminum industry, phosphate fertilizer industry, and other industries.
		In the 1940’s, when fluoridation began, the "optimal" level of exposure for dental benefit was determined to be 1 milligram/day for an adult male.

		For each compound, and where possible, a formal oxidation number for each element is given, but the usefulness of this number is limited, especially so for p-block elements in particular.
		One way to make sodium fluoride is to react the hydroxide with hydrofluoric acid.
		While not a normal route of preparation because of the expense, sodium metal reacts vigorously with all the halogens to form sodium halides.
