Should You Rinse Your Mouth After Brushing With Toothpaste? by Lamanii22(op): 2:06am On Jul 29, 2022
I literally rinse my mouth after brushing my teeth like I have been doing that all my life... until I purchased one brand of toothpaste that said "do not rinse your mouth after brushing".

So, should you or not rinse after brushing your teeth?

Fvck yeah, you have to rinse your mouth

It is highly recommended that you don't rinse your mouth after brushing, your teeth need the concentrated fluoride left after you've spat out the excess toothpaste. I've done this for some time and it really keeps the mouth fresh
Re: Should You Rinse Your Mouth After Brushing With Toothpaste? by socialmediaman:
If your toothpaste contains fluoride (and you should use one that contains fluoride), spit the toothpaste out after brushing but don't rinse immediately. Wait for like 20 mins or so before rinsing. Rinsing immediately after brushing removes or weakens the fluoride that's meant to protect or make your teeth stronger

Who get 20mins to spare for brushing huh

For Me I brush well, while intentional brushing the other sides of my teeth the other once take the time to collect enough action from the paste, after which I focus of my tongue with the help of my bathroom mirror then rinse afterwards then a repeat at night though I use mouth wash at night when am tired to brush and not working on night shift. And my teeth never complain for decades

It’s a habit and a mindset thing. We wait 20mins for our food to get done so we can also wait a similar time to rinse

DNA, food choices and lifestyle can impact the health of a person’s teeth and gums, so if you’re making the right choices and have good teeth overall, you may not experience what nearly half the population may be experiencing

It's actually easy to do. You just need to see it as something valuable to your teeth health, then add it to your routine without giving up much. For instance, if you brush your teeth first thing after you wake up, then workout for 30mins, then rinse your teeth. See? You have time to fit it in perfectly.

I might forget and start going about thinking subconsciously that I forgot something...I understand you man..It will be difficult for someone like me smiley

Who recommended such? The person definitely isn't a dentist. Brushing without rinsing with water is poor hygiene. If one really wants to keep flouride in the teeth like you say, then it's better to brush and rinse with water, then take a little paste back into the mouth again. Not rinsing means you are leaving bacteria and paste in your mouth.

You should go online and read about this before you make an assertive comment. Experts say it is good to leave the residue of the paste in your mouth and you are not one.

This thing looks like that joke where students were arguing whether the answer to a given question is plus or minus four but you got 258 grin sad

I drink water immediately after brushing my teeth. I guess I do take in the fluoride into my belly.

God EPP us undecided
Re: Should You Rinse Your Mouth After Brushing With Toothpaste? by janvier27(m): 7:17am On Jul 30, 2022
I am told you don't even have to rinse after the twenty minutes as what you would have left in your mouth isn't harmful. I'm yet to start doing this myself. It's hard not to rinse.
Re: Should You Rinse Your Mouth After Brushing With Toothpaste? by Biglittlelois(f): 2:08pm On Jul 30, 2022
Funny comments above cheesy

By seriously it's very difficult not rinsing the teeth after brushing, I can't even imagine it, I brush three times in a day, so I always have fresh breath, I think I'll have to research this new knowledge to know if it's truly correct or not.

Nope. Drink Pepsi direct with the toothpaste foam inside your mouth.pls
Re: Should You Rinse Your Mouth After Brushing With Toothpaste? by Peppermintflav: 10:46pm On Jul 30, 2022
Come to think of it, who told us to be rinsing our mouth after brushing?.....
Our parents abi?
That's the way you know.
I've been doing that all my life till few months back, I was listening to Okey bakassi on Lagos talks 91.3fm, they invited a dentist to the programme. She said if the toothpaste contains flouride, you shouldn't rinse your mouth after brushing.
I guess one has to do his own research and do what suits you.
