Fluoride is interesting element in biology. People need exact range of fluoride in food and water equal to what naturally present in nature, no less, no more. Around 0.5 mg/liter (0.5ppm or 0.00005%). Noticeably less fluoride input cause problems, Noticeably more fluoride input also cause problems, And problems from more fluoride is worse than problems from less fluoride. With less fluoride you will get British rotten teeth and slightly more brittle bones. With more fluoride you will get that too, but also a whole range of different problems from guts to mind.
In Russia fluoride concentration of more than 1.5 mg/liter (1.5ppm) in drinking water accounted as harmful and if tap water have more fluoride in some region, it should be defluoridated before ditribution. Most fresh water in Russia have level of fluoride slightly less than normal, but it never fluoridated at enterprise level. Disinfection on water plants is done using chlorine or ozone. There was experiments with other disinfectants, including different shit like PHMG and other substances, but AFAIK fluoride compounds never tried.
As for toothpaste and insecticides, well sodium chloride is deadly for slugs, but we also use it as a table salt. Also notice "do not swallow" warning on toothpaste. However, it's hard thing to achieve when it comes to children. :)
Anyway, to get some clue about fluoride, you need to start from natural amount of fluoride in local fresh water sources. Check the water you drink and cook on for fluoride level, and then you could evaluate what's really going on.
F.e. if natural fresh water you drink and use for cooking already have enough fluoride in it, then there is no any need for fluoride in toothpaste of additional fluoridation of tap water and it definitely could be harmful. If natural fluoride level is low, then, this toothpaste could be really useful for your kids teeth.
The idiocy of modern marketing is absolute. Marketing is implementation of idiocy. And the case when something really useful and healthy in some specific conditions and environment for some specific thing is presented as always useful and healthy panacea is part of it.
Do you understand that sodium fluoride consists from sodium and fluoride? :)
Take some school textbook on chemistry and learn something about halogens, activity and so on.
Fluorine is very active halogen. It can't stay in free form in normal environment. It will replace any other acid base in salts dissolved in water or will immidiately react with anything it touches. So, even if water is fluoridated by passing fluorine gas through it, you will not get a fluorine dissolved in water, but a bunch of fluoride salts - NaF, KF, CaF, MgF from salts like CaCO3, NaCl, MgSO4, whatever you have in water.
So, drinking fluoridated water is in no way different from eating toothpaste with sodium fluoride. :)
Accounting consumption of watever element is done for this element separately, even if it is consumed as salt or some other composition this element part of. So, it does not matter whether you drink fluoridated water, eating sea fish or brush your teeth with toothpaste with sodium fluoride.
It does not. Sodium reacts with water as 2Na + 2H2O -> 2NaOH + H2. This reaction generate a lot of heat. So hydrogen ignites with oxygen from atmosphere.
It's hydrogen explodes and burn, not sodium. :)
Unbelievable. Are you that ignorant?
As Sodium Chloride? That's table salt, you moron.
This sodium chloride in water will instantly turn into sodium fluoride as soon as you will pass fluorine gas through water with sodium chloride. Same will happen with any other salt in water. If there will no non-fluoride salts left to react with, then fluoride will react with water producing HF and O2.
Fluorine does not exist as separate element in normal environment, it is always fluoride ion.

Poor shill doesn't get that sodium flouride is not the same as flouride... :(
This guy named himself "russian", so you can assume he's russian...
And he talks too much for you to figure out that he has no clue what he is saying... :D
Entertaining tho - someone upvoted him, so the idiots are in plural.

Do you know that sodium explodes in water?
Yet, people take it every day in their mouth?
As Sodium Chloride? That's table salt, you moron.
But sure, try to explain chemistry to me, you absolute shill that knows nothing but still talks too much...
It does not. Sodium reacts with water as 2Na + 2H2O -> 2NaOH + H2. This reaction generate a lot of heat. So hydrogen ignites with oxygen from atmosphere.
