Fluorides in water can be detrimental or beneficial. It all depends on the concentration. Surface water supplies are normally low in fluorides (less than 0.5 ppm). Some have no fluoride at all. Well waters may contain excessive amounts of fluoride. There are some wells which contain the recommended amount (1 mg/1) for drinking water.
Exposing children under age of 9 to certain levels of fluoride has the risks of getting what's called "Colorado Brown Stain."

Research studies indicate that fluoride concentrations of 1 mg/1 are optimum. Authorities generally agree:
Where concentrations are greater than 4 mg/1, the excess fluorides must be removed from water; Where concentrations are less than 1 mg/1, fluorides should be added. As a result of studies, cities are presently required by some states to add fluorides in optimum concentrations to municipal water supplies. Where the fluoride concentration is too great, it is necessary to reduce the amount to acceptable limits.

Various methods have been suggested for reducing fluorides. These can be classified broadly in three groups:
The first treatment method has obvious advantages. Methods in the second category have distinct disadvantages. They require use of elaborate treatment plants, careful control of chemical dosage and pH. In some cases further treatment is necessary to restore the pH of the treated water to normal.

Methods in the third category do not require such elaborate control. Of these, the only widely used method of reducing fluoride content involves the use of a tricalcium phosphate filter. Such a filter functions in much the same way as a carbon filter. As the water flows through a tri-calcium phosphate filter, the fluorides are absorbed.
