Dr. Olufunmilayo Adeniyi, a medical practitioner, agrees with medical authorities and urges patients to avoid rinsing their mouths with water right after brushing their teeth.
Dr. Adeniyi agreed with a health portal, Healthline, on 'Your View,' a TV show on Television Continental monitored by The PUNCH, that rinsing soon after brushing erases a lot of the benefit of putting fluoride to your teeth.
Rinsing the mouth shortly after brushing, she claims, will diminish the flouride's protective benefits (on the teeth).
"We advise that you spit rather than rinse with water so that there is a bit left to act on," she says.
If you brush for two minutes and you spit in between the two minutes, you won’t be able to keep all the toothpaste in your mouth for two minutes. “So, you spit out, you rinse a little and do it again, and lastly, you spit out and leave it to act.
You will see that your breath smells fresher than when you rinse. “It is recommended that you visit your dentist every six months, at least twice a year. Some people who produce more dirt in their mouths or more calculus in their mouths are asked to see the dentist every four months.
“Every pregnant woman should routinely see a dentist during the course of the pregnancy because the pregnancy hormones affect your gums and your mouth adversely. “Prevention is cheaper than waiting till late to get something rid off, just invest in a routine check-up.”
Also, a U.K Oral Health Foundation, also recommend the advice. It said: “Leave the fluoride on your teeth as you go about your day, and try to avoid eating or drinking for 10 minutes or more after brushing is done.”
