On average, the amount of fluorine in the human body is three milligrams. Fluorine is primarily mined in China, Mongolia, Russia, Mexico and South Africa, according to Minerals Education...
In adults, about 50% of absorbed fluoride is retained in the body, with all but 1% stored in bones and teeth [1, 3]. The other 50% is excreted in urine [1]. In young children, up to 80% of absorbed fluoride is retained because more is taken up by bones and teeth than in adults [1].
Fluoride is a trace mineral naturally found in small amounts in a variety of foods. It is most recognized for its role in preventing and reversing dental caries and building strong teeth and bones. [1] . Most fluoride is absorbed in the gut and stored in bones and teeth. Unabsorbed fluoride is excreted in urine.
Fluoride protects teeth from decay by demineralization and remineralization. Too much fluoride can lead to dental fluorosis or skeletal fluorosis, which can damage bones and joints. Excessive...
Most of the body’s fluorine (F) is contained in bones and teeth. Fluoride (the ionic form of fluorine) is widely distributed in nature. The main source of fluoride is fluoridated drinking water. Fluorine deficiency can lead to dental caries and possibly osteoporosis.

Fluoride or fluorine deficiency is a disorder which may cause increased dental caries [1] and possibly osteoporosis, [2][3] due to a lack of fluoride in diet. [4][5] Common dietary sources of fluoride include tea, grape juice, wine, raisins, some seafood, coffee, and tap water that has been fluoridated. [6] .
Fluoride (the ionic form of fluorine) is widely distributed in nature. The main source of fluoride is fluoridated drinking water. Excess fluorine can accumulate in teeth and bones, causing fluorosis. Drinking water containing > 10 parts per million is a common cause.
Fluoride is a form of the chemical element fluorine. It occurs naturally in nature and is found in body tissues containing calcium, such as bones and teeth. Fluoride protects teeth from the...
Fluoride is safe and beneficial in appropriate amounts, aiding in cavity prevention. However, excessive intake can have harmful effects, particularly in countries with naturally high fluoride...
