- clumsysmurf 2y agoFrom https://www.nhs.uk/live-well/healthy-teeth-and-gums/how-to-keep-your-teeth-clean/ https://www.nhs.uk/live-well/healthy-teeth-and-gums/how-to-k... > After brushing, spit out any excess toothpaste. > Don't rinse your mouth immediately after brushing, as it'll wash away the concentrated fluoride in the remaining toothpaste. > Rinsing dilutes it and reduces its preventative effects. There seems to be a contradiction; rinsing well may minimize exposure from contaminants, but negate the effect of flouride :/

- more_corn 2y agoRecently guidance is to not rinse after brushing to give the toothpaste 30min to work. The lead information is therefore quite timely.
