Not sure if this is 100% scientifically backed but I read a bit by a dental hygienist on a forum that you shouldn’t rinse when brushing with proper toothpaste because it can help remineralize the teeth if when its not rinsed away after
Its annoying but its a good way to cut down on mindless snacking at the very least for me so its something I do sometimes. Hope its not voodoo
Tips I have learned over the years. In priority order.
TIL, thank you.
No it’s a lie, the government actually adds fluoride to tap water.
Yeah you swallow all that sweet fluoride, tin, titanium and other shit in your toothpaste. I’ve never had a cavity and will continue to rinse
It’s a very small quantity of stuff that your body can easily manage to break down or expel. And you not having a cavity ever is just survivorship bias.
There’s a number for poison control on the tube if you do not want to rinse
I have never seen this but I may not have noticed - is this an American thing?
In any case, that’s only there in case a child gulps down the whole tube, which might indeed be bad. Doesn’t mean a small quantity is bad.
Yes actually. In some European and Asian countries they don’t add fluoride but dental health is still better than Americans
