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.
