I don't know. I do know fluoride works topically. I also know there is no mechanism in the body to return fluoride to the teeth topically after it is swallowed.

So drinking fluoride is pointless.

If it is so good to swallow them why not swallow after brushing. Why are you so obsessed with swallowing something that does not help.

Plenty of things we ingest are toxic in high doses, but valuable in smaller amounts.
