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

    Yeah you swallow all that sweet fluoride, tin, titanium and other shit in your toothpaste. I’ve never had a cavity and will continue to rinse

      It’s a very small quantity of stuff that your body can easily manage to break down or expel. And you not having a cavity ever is just survivorship bias.
