Mumei can hopefully avoid any more cavities with this realization

uh...i always wash/rinse out my mouth with water after brushing...this is new information

[Bloodx]

floss and rinse then brush but the american dental association says doesnt matter what order due to people not doing anything at all

I came to this sad realization a few years ago.. I haven't rinsed my mouth out since.. that explains the cavities and missing teeth.. sigh 😔 if only we knew sooner.. and she's right when you go to the dentist they DON'T rinse your mouth out and you're not allowed to eat or drink for a period of time after the fluoride is on your teeth.

[Kamui]

have I been doing so wrong all my life!!! 😩

This is different depending where you live.
The difference is because what the people places importance on. Since fluoride is not good for you some recommend rinsing it out, some places more importance on the benefit of fluoride. And as you age the benefit of fluoride decreases.

If you brush your teeth for about 4 minutes and rinse you will be fine. And the important thing is to clean your teeth thoroughly, also water floss helps.

If Mumei doesn't brush her teeth properly not rinsing will not help.


btw some tooth paste and gel don't have fluoride.

source: The dentist explained it to me in detail when I got an implant. So take with grain of salt, I am going by memory

It's more complex than "do you rinse or not". I rinse all the time, brush only once per day, and my teeth are in perfect health. I think it helps that I eat no sweets or stuff like that, and the most damaging thing I eat (apples, which are sweet and acidic) is eaten not long before I brush my teeth at the end of the day, so the amount of time it can damage my teeth is minimal. I think the way you should take care of your teeth depends on your diet.

I'm still rinsing. Walking around with a mouthful of toothpaste is gross.

I feel like we have all been failed by our dentists - Ive had several dentists over my life and NONE OF THEM have told me this

[Jojob]

It only matters when you use toothpaste with fluoride in it, so you're fine in the unlikely case you're using something else! :D

[Sugarist]

Wait then what do I do with the stuff that I can’t spit out and I’m definitely gonna swallow at some point in the next few minutes(pause)
And also am i supposed to put on my retainer just like that?

[Juhno]

Yeah. I heard about this like 2-3 years ago. But changed my routine.
