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.
Wondering if you have a source on 6. My hygienist said they’re better than nothing, but flossing is still better than water piks.
Can confirm 1. At least for me it worked great. They make a lot less noice then the oral-b with the rotating head and the head is a lot smaller. The smaller head enables me to reach all teeth.
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
Just like everything else, things are poisonous based on the quantity consumed.
If you’re downing entire tubes of toothpaste yeah you’re going to make yourself sick.
