What is the concentration of H_3O^+ and OH^- ions in water at 298 K ?

Assertion: The deficiency of fluoride in drinking water cause disease such as tooth decay etc. Reason: The F^(-) ions make the enamel on teeth much harder by converting hydroxyapatite, the enamal on the surface of the teeth, into much harder fluorapatite.
