0:00.0	My name is Ben Greenfield, and on this episode of the Boundless Life podcast, when you use a toothpaste
0:06.1	with hydroxyapatite, that's biocompatible, meaning your body recognizes hydroxyapotite,
0:12.6	and it's able to incorporate it into the surfaces of your teeth, thereby helping to remineralize
0:18.3	and strengthen enamel without the need for fluoride.
0:21.9	Fluoride also strengthens enamel.
0:23.8	It's been well studied for a very, very long time, but it is not organic to enamel.
0:28.8	And it can become toxic at high levels, which is especially concerning for children.
