What toothpaste should I use?

When choosing a toothpaste, Andrew Huberman discusses the inclusion of xylitol and fluoride as key considerations. Xylitol can be beneficial as it helps maintain oral health by combating tooth decay. The choice between fluoride and fluoride-free toothpaste often depends on personal preference and health concerns. Fluoride toothpaste strengthens tooth enamel, but some people prefer to avoid it due to potential health concerns.
