Fluoride Accumulation in Bone Matrix

  • High Affinity for Calcium: Fluoride is a halogen that has a strong chemical affinity for calcium.
  • Bone and Teeth Deposition: Because bones and teeth consist largely of a calcified matrix (specifically hydroxyapatite), the vast majority of absorbed fluoride in the human body—typically over 99%—accumulates directly in these hard tissues.
  • Crystal Incorporation: Fluoride ions substitute for hydroxyl ions within the hydroxyapatite crystal lattice, forming fluorapatite.
  • Long-Term Storage: This incorporation alters the crystal structure, making the mineral more stable and less soluble, but it also means fluoride becomes a permanent or long-term structural component of the bone matrix over time.
