Prior to the beginning of community water fluoridation, tooth decay was widespread and severe among Americans. After fluoride was added in many places to the U.S. water supply, tooth decay declined in both children and adults, and complete tooth loss in older adults b...
There has been some concern that high levels of fluoride may be associated with lower IQ scores in children, but more research needs to be done in this area. The ADA says that fluoride use in children can help prevent white streaks from appearing on tooth enamel through their developmental ye...

Is Fluoride in the Water Really Safe? Good Health
There are three different types of fluoride used by local water treatment facilities. Proponents of fluoridated water say that all forms of the substance commonly added to municipal drinking water are equal in effectiveness and safety. As a result, the form of fluoride added to water usually comes...
It dissolves readily in water with an enthalpy change of solution of -125 kJ mol-1. It is given that the lattice energy of calcium fluoride is -2350 kJ mol-1 while the enthalpy change of hydration of calcium ion is -1560 kJ mol-1.With the aid of a labelled energy level diagram, ...
