Although only anecdotal at present, the cases presented seem to indicate that children who had previously suffered from recurrent herpes entered into a period of partial or complete remission when receiving daily fluoride tablet supplementation. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The result is that small amounts of soluble fluoride ions are present in all water sources, including the oceans. "Fluoride is present to some extent in all foods and beverages, but the concentrations vary widely. [scientificamerican.com]

• Pain

  Skin contact with hydrogen fluoride may not cause immediate pain or visible skin damage(signs of exposure). Often, patients exposed to low concentrations of hydrogen fluoride on the skin do not show effects or experience pain immediately. [emergency.cdc.gov]

• Inflammation

  Besides its toxicity, fluoride has also been examined for its beneficial effects like prevention and treatment of tooth decay, microbial infection, inflammation, cancer, occurrence of renal stone and many more. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Nausea

  Other clinical features included gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and weight loss; lower extremity pain sometimes associated with stress fractures of the lower extremities; renal insufficiency; and elevated alkaline phosphatase levels [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  Right Place, Right Time Dean and his colleagues assumed that fluoride’s protection against cavities was because of its incorporation into developing teeth, before they erupt into the mouth — a so-called systemic (through the body) effect. [deardoctor.com]
