fluorides
Cavity-fighting tap additives
Fluorides are compounds containing fluorine, the most reactive element.
Sodium fluoride is added to drinking water and toothpaste to prevent tooth decay—a public health measure that remains controversial despite scientific consensus on its safety.
Industrial fluorides appear in aluminum production and certain pesticides.
