55 Rampant Health Myths That Need to Die

Myth: You need to rinse after you brush your teeth

‘Most toothpastes contains levels of fluoride that help reverse the early stages of tooth decay by remineralizing the tooth enamel.

If you rinse with a mouthwash or water, you don’t give the toothpaste enough time to work, so you don’t get the full benefit. I see too many patients with this issue and they all look at me with a shocked face when I tell them they’ve been doing things incorrectly almost all their life.’ – Eugene Gamble, periodontal surgeon.
