If You Love Your Teeth, Stop Rinsing With Water After Brushing Your Mouth
If you are the kind of person that rinses your mouth with water after washing it, I want you to consider stopping it, as it is very bad for your teeth and may even lead to tooth decay if continued over a long period of time.
Rinsing the mouth with water after brushing is bad because it washes away the fluoride in the toothpaste that is supposed to stay on your teeth and act on germs.
Fluoride is the most important substance in toothpastes. It works by strengthening the enamel of the teeth, making it stronger and more resistant to decay. Fluoride also reduces the concentration or amount of acid in your teeth that may have been produced by bacteria.
Instead of rinsing your mouth with water, you should spit out the excess toothpaste in your mouth and then wait for maybe 5-10 minutes, for the fluoride to act on your teeth. After this time, you may now finally rinse with water, or may decide to leave your mouth that way. Both are healthy and perfectly fine for your teeth. Don't rinse with water straight after toothbrushing.
However, if you do want to use mouthwash as a substitute, you should ensure to use it at a time different to brushing, so that you may get all the benefits of the fluoride that is contained in your toothpaste.


Also, you should ensure to brush your teeth for at least two minutes in the morning and two minutes at night for effective control of plaques and bacteria from the food we may have eaten during the day. However, you may visit a dentist that may recommend a better plan for you, based on your teeth health and history.

Ignoramus on the beat. The best toothpaste is one that doesn't contain fluoride. Go and find out why. Something that was dumped out and used as rat poison before they saw how they could profit from it.

Don't mind them, the same fluoride awoken people are running from is what we should now swallow. Next one highly lobbied dental society or nutrition society will tell them to use it in cooking stew and egusi.

The same Floride that is said to damage the enamel is what you're saying protects it? Besides flouride is what gives a toothpaste the gel form so it cannot be found in white or opaq toothpaste. So I read.

if you brush your teeth for long enough time, it will make up for the loss fluoride from rinsing.. Rinsing after brushing keeps my breath decent and fresh and I try to wash for up to 2 mins recommended time too
