Water fluoridation is an important preventative measure carried out in much of the western world. It results in some of the hydroxyapatite, Ca5(PO4)3OH, of which human tooth enamel is made being replaced by fluoroapatite, Ca5(PO4)3F - a substance significantly more resistant to decay. Thus, to protect the teeth of the population, water is often fluoridated. This is usually done with one of three fluorine-containing chemicals (sodium fluoride, sodium fluorosilicate and hydrofluorosilicic acid). The following equations describe the reactions that occur...
