Why are the imbeciles here advising how to remove the fluoride?
The fluoride (in the correct concentration) is beneficial to the teeth, both at a systemic and a topical level. The asker ,presumably, wants to retain the fluoride exactly for this purpose. The concentrating effect of boiling will be minimal assuming normal boiling ,as in to make a cup of tea.
Jadea is talking out of her backside and obviously has a mouthful of rotten teeth due to her lack of fluoride.

No, the more you boil the water the more concentrated the fluoride becomes concentrated in the water. The only way to remove the fluoride is to get yourself a reverse osmosis system, which can be expensive – Britta filters and similar water filtration only remove some of the minerals and chlorine, not fluoride.
Fluoride although beneficial can be harmful in larger amounts; unfortunately many people are still pretty ignorant about the harmful effects of fluoride on teeth and general health, even some medical professionals.
If you want to remove fluoride the best way is not to take it out of your water but instead to cut out fluoride in your toothpaste, that which is put into our water is more than enough to take advantage of the medical benifits.

I don't think people are aware of what Fluoride in Water actually is. It's Hazardous waste. A by-product of the Phosphate Mining Industry. They used used to get rid of it through the air but had to stop as it was killing farm animals and crops. The cheapest way was and is to dump it in the water supplies. Then tell everyone it's good for your teeth. People who believe that have obviously been drinking too much fluoridated water.....DUHHH!

No boiling water does not get rid of it. It's a mineral. In fact it gets more concentrated. When you're done boiling water down to just the pan, the remaining white stuff is minerals. Calcium, Sodium, and minute amounts of fluoride.

I agree with everything Johnny_Baggs said.
I have seen the effects of non-fluoridated water on kids teeth. We're talking brown swiss-cheese for teeth here people.
The so called "bad effects" the "medical professionals are ignorant about" of fluoride are at HIGH concentrations. These are found naturally only in some areas in India. To much fluoride does NOT, repeat not, cause chalky white spots in the enamel - that is hypocalcified enamel - either a genetic defect or a childhood fever.

no... it stays in it. If you catch the steam and then let it condense back into water it won't have the impurities and additives in it.

No, it CONCENTRATES the flouride.
