Help me out here: what is the difference between Hydrogen Flouride (from the article) and Sodium Flouride (from my toothpaste - that has a warning not to ingest it)?

Hydrogen Floride is an acid. Sodium Floride is a salt. Same difference between Hydrogen Chloride (Hydrochloric Acid) and Sodium Chloride (table salt).

Okay, I think I've got it. Shouldn't have cut out of science class back in high school.
