Boiling does not remove the fluoride, it actually just concentrates it. Water filters with carbon also do not remove fluoride either (Brita, ect). Distilled water and water treated by reverse osmosis are fluoride free. Keep in mind that a lot of bottled waters still contain fluoride.
I have a water cooler at home that I use for drinking water. If you do purchase bottled water, call the company to see if they remove the fluoride. I'm not a real "green" person but I try to avoid drinking bottled water because of all of the waste the plastic bottles produce. I drink around 120-150 oz of water a day so by using a refillable bottle it saves me money and helps the enviroment.
If you decide to get fluoride-free toothpaste I suggest Tom's Natural brand. I can't tell the difference. There are several different types so read the label to make sure it is one of the fluoride-free one's.
