Frankfurt - The protection given by fluoride-enriched toothpaste works better if it isn't rinsed away after brushing, reports a German oral health organization.
Keeping the foamy fluoride-rich toothpaste in one's mouth after brushing dramatically boosts the protection from brushing, reports the German Informational Circle on Oral Hygiene and Nutritional Behaviour (IME). Therefore, spit after brushing, but don't rinse.
The best dental protection comes from thoroughly brushing three times a day - after every main meal, or at least after breakfast and before bedtime.
Seems doubtful advice. How much fluoride will you ingest?
