Very very little: Like a lot of things (vitamin c, iodine, iron, oxygen) Fluoride is safe and helpful when used in the proper small amounts, and like these other substances can be toxic in very high amounts. You can not realisically, and rationally compare the two scenarios, the effects are totally different. They will absorb no measurable amount of Fluoride though their skin from city water containing fluoride.
