I've heard this before too, but no way, need a good rinse, and don't get toothpaste residue on the towel or anywhere, rinse well, mouth, hands and brush. The dentist has given my teeth great reviews for decades now from brush 2x a day, floss as needed and rinse the tp well. I get fluoride in the water too so it hasn't been an issue for my teeth at least.

It takes long enough after brushing and rinsing well to not have the odd tastes from eating as it is, but maybe not an issue for others and that would be nice.

Same, dentists said my teeth were excellent when I didn't follow various tips like: don't rinse, don't use more than a pea of toothpaste, brush in circles. I do the 2nd and 3rd one now but I'm never going to stop doing water rinse. I've tried, but it doesn't really help. the water rinse allows me to feel clean

This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?

4) NSFW is okay, within reason

Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com. NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
