Do you rinse with water after cleaning your teeth with paste?

Yes - I do now - after spending years brushing the toothpaste away with plain water - I discovered I was actually washing away the very protection I was using the toothpaste for!


Best technique is brush your teeth then rinse - use a tongue scraper as well - it%26#039;s like cleaning the house but never hoovering the floors! (Dentist%26#039;s advice).

Reply:Depends on what paste you use. Wallpaper paste is water soluable and you wouldn%26#039;t want to dilute it with water after applying it to your teeth.


It is recomended that you rinse your mouth with water after appling toothpaste because you don%26#039;t want to walk around looking like a dog with rabbies.


And yes, I do... you should too.

Reply:Yes, because you don%26#039;t want to ingest some of the things that are usually in toothpastes, such as the fluoride.
Reply:yes i do. I am surprised at some of your answers though. I thought that everyone rinsed with water. I mean, you just brushed all that crap off...if you dont spit it out and rinse it...what do you do? swallow it? yuck!
Reply:Yes - warm water in winter; cool in summer.
Reply:always with mouth wash, leaving paste residue in your mouth does no harm at all just keeps your breath minty for longer
Reply:Yeah i do with water out of habit but i know u shouldnt.
Reply:yes always
Reply:Always! If you hold the foam in your mouth instead of spitting it all out, then rinse with water, the mint in the toothpaste refreshes your whole mouth. Then several more rinses to ensure it%26#039;s all gone.
Reply:No, my dentist told me it is better not to as the residual paste helps to protect your teeth for longer.
