I also rinse after flossing before brushing. Then I rinse again after brushing.

I also rinse throughout the day whenever I can. It's not a routine for me as much as a habit along with generally always having plenty of water to keep things moving and clean.



Rinsing after brushing removes the fluoride of toothpaste.

Even fluorided mouthwash is about 100x less fluoride than toothpaste.

Rinsing at other times is good, though.


I'm pretty sure if I don't rinse I will have a mouth full of foam and crap I just brushed off.
