    Actually quite hazardous to your health in it's free ionic form or bonded to stuff like Hydrogen.

    That's why you're supposed to spit the toothpaste and rinse it out.

    what do you suggest.

    Should i use toothpaste with flouride or not?

    Fluoridated toothpaste and water helps your teeth because the flouride ions end up replacing the broken calcium bonds left over from the lactic acid produced by bacteria left from food (plaque) on your teeth.

    Amazingly yet, simple hydrogen and flourine together create hydrofluoric acid. A weak acid, but one of the deadliest chemicals you can come into contact with as it rips the calcium out of your bones and soft tissues if you come into contact with it.

  • >Flourine is also one of the most reactive elements in the periodic table.

    Mostly because of it's insanely high electronegativity ;3

    Almost all compounds of Fluoride are intensely toxic.

    Or explosively, insanely hypergolic. Or all of the above at the same time. In the case of ClF3, sand will not save you this time

    ”It is, of course, extremely toxic, but that's the least of the problem. It is hypergolic with every known fuel, and so rapidly hypergolic that no ignition delay has ever been measured. It is also hypergolic with such things as cloth, wood, and test engineers, not to mention asbestos, sand, and water-with which it reacts explosively. It can be kept in some of the ordinary structural metals-steel, copper, aluminium, etc.-because of the formation of a thin film of insoluble metal fluoride which protects the bulk of the metal, just as the invisible coat of oxide on aluminium keeps it from burning up in the atmosphere. If, however, this coat is melted or scrubbed off, and has no chance to reform, the operator is confronted with the problem of coping with a metal-fluorine fire. For dealing with this situation, I have always recommended a good pair of running shoes.” -- John Clark

    Yah - it's used around here against feral dogs and pigs under the innocuous name of 1080
