Could fluoride actually harm your body?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Large amounts can: Yes, of course. A large amount of anything can harm your body. Using a recommended dosage of fluoride, be it a rinse, or tablet for a child or a treatment at the dentist office, or in your toothpaste is very, very, very safe.
