Sodium fluoride (NaF) is an inorganic compound with the formula NaF. It is a colorless or white solid that is readily soluble in water. It is used in trace amounts in the fluoridation of drinking water to prevent tooth decay, and in toothpastes and topical pharmaceuticals for the same purpose. In 2022, it was the 221st most commonly prescribed medication in the United States, with more than 1 million prescriptions.[7][8] It is also used in metallurgy and in medical imaging.
