Is there any evidence that the specific type of fluoride salts added orally via the toothpaste actually provide anything beneficial? Asking because I have seen some biologists get into arguments about this very topic specific to the type of fluoride solutions. [1a][1b] Just curious really. Fluoride has some interesting properties. [2] Apparently some cities have blocked water companies from adding it to the water supply. [3][4] 74 cities. Some foods naturally contain fluoride. [5]
