Brushing Teeth

586 views

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?

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.
