Epidemiological studies provide no credible evidence for an association between fluoride, either naturally occurring or added to drinking water, and risk of cancer.

Fluoride ion has been associated with chromosome aberrations in cultured human and rodent cells at doses much higher than expected human exposures.

Adverse effects on reproduction were reported for rats, mice, fox, and cattle exposed to 100 ppm or greater concentrations of fluoride in their diet or drinking water.

Nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea may occur soon after ingestion (within 30 minutes) and are accompanied by salivation, hematemesis and epigastric cramping abdominal pain. These symptoms may persist for 24 hours. If less than 5 mg fluoride/kg body weight (i.e., less than 2.3 mg fluoride/pound body weight) has been ingested, give calcium in the form of milk orally to relieve gastrointestinal symptoms and observe for a few hours. If more than 5 mg fluoride body weight (i.e., more than 2.3 mg fluoride/pound body weight) has been ingested, induce vomiting, administer orally soluble calcium in the form of milk, calcium gluconate or calcium lactate solution, and immediately seek medical assistance. For accidental ingestion of more than 15 mg fluoride/kg body weight (i.e., more than 6.9 mg fluoride/pound body weight) induce vomiting, and admit immediately to a hospital facility.

PREGNANCY Teratogenic Effects Pregnancy Category B Fluoride crosses the placenta in rats, but only 0.01% of the amount administered is incorporated in fetal tissue. Animal studies with rats, mice, and rabbits have demonstrated that fluoride is not teratogenic. Maternal exposure to 12.2 mg fluoride/kg of body weight in rats or 13.1 mg/kg of body weight in rabbits did not affect litter size or fetal weight and did not increase the frequency of skeletal or visceral malformations. No adequate or well-controlled studies have been conducted in pregnant women. Epidemiological studies conducted in areas with high levels of naturally occurring fluoridated water have shown no increase in birth defects.
