Longitudinal associations between early-life fluoride exposures and cardiometabolic outcomes in school-aged children.
4. Discussion … Fluoridation of drinking water has been implemented in multiple countries to promote dental health. These findings can help inform whether fluoridation practices are an optimal cost-effective measure to improve health. Even though fluoride can be excreted from the body within hours, a potential long-lasting endocrine-disrupting role of the chemical should be considered […]

Association between fluoride exposure in drinking water and cognitive deficits in children: A pilot study.
2.3.1. Children’s drawing tasks A total of 68 (37 males and 31 females) from the 74 children were enrolled and asked to participate in three drawing tasks of common objects that children readily encounter or experience in the study area, though their reproduction varies in complexity: a house, a person, and a donkey. They were […]

Biphasic Functions of Sodium Fluoride (NaF) in Soft and in Hard Periodontal Tissues.
1. Introduction Fluoride is well known for its use in the treatment of dental caries, either systemically or topically [1]. Fluoride intake (such as in drinking water, fluoridated toothpaste, or fluoride supplements) is the cornerstone to preventing dental caries in adults and children. Fluoride prevents dental caries by slowing down the demineralization of enamel, which […]

Renal osteodystrophy in patients on long-term hemodialysis with fluoridated water
In our hemodialysis center, opened in April 1964, fluoridated dialysis began with the fluoridation of the city water supply in November 1965. Our subsequent therapeutic failure was completely unexpected and a possible explanation was suggested by the observation of Taves et al. that the serum fluoride levels in patients chronically hemodialyzed with fluoridated water are […]
