I’ve heard that after brushing, you’re not supposed to rinse with water. If American water has fluoride, why would this be a bad thing? I always thought toothpaste was supposed to be rinsed like soap. Plus, it’s toxic if swallowed. Why is rinsing after brushing bad?

Toothpaste contains some things that could be toxic, but not in the little amounts that it is in there.
On the topic of rinsing: you shouldn’t do it immediately because even though your tap water may contain fluoride, the tooth paste has a much higher concentration of it and rinsing it, dilutes the effect.
You can rinse after 20 minutes.
I’m guessing anyone who’s told you that was worried about water quality.
In the US our public water is treated with a tiny bit of chlorine (typically but places may be phasing this out) to kill microbes, and fluoride to promote healthy dental hygiene, plus other minerals for taste and fortification.
So you don’t really have an issue in the YS as long as your water has been treated properly. But there are places around the US where water treatment hasn’t always been good/consistent. I’m guessing the issue would be if the water wasn’t treated well against microbes and would normally need to be boiled before using, but then I wouldn’t suggest using it to brush your teeth at all without boiling it first.
Yes and the fluoride in water does nothing for your teeth as you just swallow it providing no time to do anything for your teeth. So I just enters your system and calcifies your pineal gland
I am not from the usa, but as soon as I started rinsing my mouth only with drinking water and using toothpaste without sls, I stopped getting stomatitis. I don’t know if toothpaste plays a role here, but it was after I stopped rinsing my mouth with tap water that the stomatitis disappeared
You’re not supposed to rise because toothpaste has fluoride in it in large enough quantities to help remineralize your teeth to protect it from cavities. Tap water has fluoride in it but in miniscule amounts.
Personally, I don’t really use toothpaste because my teeth don’t get super-clean with it. I use a little bit of mouthwash to brush with. Much cleaner feeling that lasts longer.
