Further clinical observations on the effects of fluoride dentrifices on oral inflammation are indicated.”

Prenatal and postnatal ingestion of fluorides: fourteen years of investigation — final report*.

October 1961 | Journal of Dental Medicine | Feltman R, Kosel G. | 16(4):190-99.
SUMMARY Data is presented showing that fluoride ingested by gravid women enters the maternal circulation, is stored in the placenta and passes through the placental barrier to enter the foetal blood supply. Evidence is presented that the fluoride in the foetal blood supply affects the developing teeth to make them more resistant .to dental caries. No unusual effects have been observed on the blood pictures of children who ingested fluoride. One percent of our cases presented evidence of u
