“Don’t rinse your mouth after brushing” – physician warns
#jaiyeorie
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.
