After brushing: spit rather than rinse
The final step of brushing is easy to overlook.
Three practical points
- Spit out excess toothpaste after brushing.
- Avoid rinsing with water immediately, which washes away the remaining concentrated fluoride.
- If mouthwash is part of your routine, ask your dentist about using it at a different time.
In the Philippines, contact your usual dentist or dental clinic for individual advice. Service availability and fees vary; ask the provider directly.
