It is safe: The levels of Fluoride in toothpaste is very safe. The seal of acceptance by the american dental association indicates that we are concerned about your health and do no want to endorse anything that is detrimental to you.

Normally yes: I would ask your dentist. Some people live in areas that have water that is too high in Fluoride (you would need to ask local dentist or local water company.) there are varying opinions on the safety of fluoride.

Lancet Neuro 3/2014: A meta-analysis of 27 cross-sectional studies of children exposed to Fluoride in drinking water, mainly from china, suggests an average iq decrement of about seven points in children exposed to raised Fluoride concentrations. The majority of these 27 studies had water Fluoride levels of less than four milligrams per liter, which falls under the allowable level set by the epa.

Absolutely: Suppose you lived in Denver, with fluoride levels more than 3 times that in Philadelphia's artificially fluoridated water supply, and looked at morbidity/mortality statistics. They would be identical. There's over 80 years of research that says the correct amount of Fluoride is beneficial and not harmful. Talk to your Dentist. I recommend fluoridated toothpaste to all of my patients.
