I was told to rinse after brushing my teeth but now told not to?
When I was growing up I was always told to rinse my mouth with water after brushing my teeth and spit it out. Now I am hearing that you are not supposed to rinse. Instead, it is better to leave the toothpaste/fluoride on your teeth so it works for longer. This doesn't make sense to me because what about all the debris you've just brushed off your teeth. Is that just supposed to sit in your mouth and land back on your teeth?
