Protecting teeth from caries

May 4, 2022

Dentists advise to fight the temptation to rinse your mouth after brushing your teeth, because otherwise the protective fluoride coating applied with toothpaste is washed off (unexpectedly, huh ?!) "Advanced" doctors do not even wet the toothbrush before squeezing the paste on it, and try not to drink for half an hour after this hygiene procedure. Another important point, do not brush your teeth immediately after eating, as food temporarily softens the tooth enamel and you need to let it harden again, which takes at least half an hour.
