Answers:
Halogens in general have antiseptic properties. Think about chlorine!
flouride acts as an antiseptic by inhibiting bacterial and icro-organism growth in the cells surrounding a wound and hence finds use as an anti-septic.
however it causes damage to the normal human cells as well and hence must not be used in excess.
