2. Sodium fluoride - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_fluoride

   Sodium fluoride (NaF) is an inorganic compound with the formula Na F.It is a colorless or white solid that is readily soluble in water. It is used in trace amounts in the fluoridation of drinking water to prevent tooth decay, and in toothpastes and topical pharmaceuticals for the same purpose.

3. Fluoride - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluoride

   Fluoride-containing compounds, such as sodium fluoride or sodium monofluorophosphate are used in topical and systemic fluoride therapy for preventing tooth decay. They are used for water fluoridation and in many products associated with oral hygiene . [ 31 ]

4. Fluorine compounds - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluorine_compounds

   Sodium fluoride: yellow is fluorine, purple is sodium. They are isoelectronic, but fluorine is bigger because its nuclear charge is lower. The alkali metals form monofluorides. All are soluble and have the sodium chloride (rock salt) structure, [47] Because the fluoride anion is basic, many alkali metal fluorides form bifluorides with the ...

5. Sodium fluorosilicate - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_fluorosilicate

   Sodium fluorosilicate is used in some countries as additives for water fluoridation, opal glass raw material, ore refining, or other fluoride chemical (like sodium fluoride, magnesium silicofluoride, cryolite, aluminum fluoride) production. [5] It also is an ingredient in some ceramic cements.

6. Water fluoridation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_fluoridation

   It is normally accomplished by adding one of three compounds to the water: sodium fluoride, fluorosilicic acid, or sodium fluorosilicate. Sodium fluoride (NaF) was the first compound used and is the reference standard. [41] It is a white, odorless powder or crystal; the crystalline form is preferred if manual handling is used, as it minimizes ...

7. Sodium monofluorophosphate - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_monofluorophosphate

   Sodium monofluorophosphate, commonly abbreviated SMFP, is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula Na 2 PO 3 F. Typical for a salt, SMFP is odourless, colourless, and water-soluble. This salt is an ingredient in some toothpastes. [2]

8. Fluoride toxicity - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluoride_toxicity

   Referring to a common salt of fluoride, sodium fluoride (NaF), the lethal dose for most adult humans is estimated at 5 to 10 g (which is equivalent to 32 to 64 mg elemental fluoride/kg body weight). [ 2 ] [ 3 ] [ 4 ] Ingestion of fluoride can produce gastrointestinal discomfort at doses at least 15 to 20 times lower (0.2–0.3 mg/kg or 10 to 15 ...

9. Monofluoride - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monofluoride

   All have the sodium chloride (rock salt) structure and are soluble in water and even some alcohols. [1] Because the fluoride anion is highly basic, many alkali metal fluorides form bifluorides with the formula MHF 2. Sodium and potassium bifluorides are significant to the chemical industry. [2]
