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]

Abstract The present study investigated the effect of periodic 1-min fluoride treatments on Streptococcus mutans biofilms and then determined the relationship between anti-biofilm activity, treatment frequency, and fluoride concentration using a linear-fitting [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Prolonged post-injury dry extra-oral conditions worsen the prognosis and increase the risk of root resorption. Fluoride has the potential to delay replacement resorption. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Prognosis Death may result from ingesting as little as 2 g of fluoride in an adult and 16 mg/kg in children. Symptoms may appear with 3-5 mg/kg of fluoride. Estimated toxic dose for fluoride ingestion is 5-10 mg/kg. [emedicine.medscape.com]
