Not sure if this is 100% scientifically backed but I read a bit by a dental hygienist on a forum that you shouldn’t rinse when brushing with proper toothpaste because it can help remineralize the teeth if when its not rinsed away after

Its annoying but its a good way to cut down on mindless snacking at the very least for me so its something I do sometimes. Hope its not voodoo

    • have flossers you like in your EDC bag, use them whenever you have time. GUM flossers are my favorite
    • avoid sugar in your diet, but if you can’t - brush after eating sugar
    • avoid brushing teeth / flossing immediately before and after sex. The cleaning process can cause micro abrasians in your gums.
    • get a nice tongue scraper and make it part of your daily routine, for better breath.

      Tongue scraper is fantastic. Got a cheap metal one online for less than $5, works great and is easy to clean.

      I’ve generally read that you should avoid brushing for about 30-60 minutes after eating anything, since the acidity of your mouth is elevated and that softens your teeth more than normal.

      cmv if you have different data I guess
