Tooth paste doesn't have high enough concentration to make a difference where it matters. It matters in kids ... while your teeth grow - after age 12, not so much.
Most water districts don't use it any more. Check with your water district - it is likely they don't use it.
Lubey - I thought you were a chemist? The fluoride will stay in the water just like sodium. If you want to use boiling to remove it you have to catch the steam and cool it down ... distilled water. Also, you get a lot of your tap water into your body through hot drinks and boiled foods.
IMHO it should be everyone's own responsibility to medicate their kids at the tooth growing age. Let's not medicate the entire population life long, including pets etc. If the water district has it, I drink it, but I'd rather not.
