Wait, you guys just wait until your saliva kicks in or something? You can't just go in dry.

We are still talking about toothpaste on a toothbrush, right?
Delete second frame
:D
No way! Two times the Padme is always better than just one. 🤤
Yeah I refuse to believe this is an ADHD thing
It's not. Ads are dumb.
I do, just put some toothpaste on the brush and start brushing. My toothpaste doesn't have SLS and it immediately starts foaming once the brushing starts. Idk why people rinse part of the toothpaste from their brush before brushing their teeth. Maybe it's chronic dehydration and your mouth is always dry or using super goopy toothpaste that needs extra help foaming?
Before and after toothpaste application.
If you shit in the same room you brush your teeth, you should probably rinse the poop particles off your toothbrush.
who is shitting in their kitchen?
Dont kink shame me
Don't ask questions you dont want answered.
Isn't that what garbage disposals are made for?
Poop bacteria in your house is probably similar to rotting food bacteria in your house
Nah, that's the only way to level up your mouth bacteria. Imagine what fierce warriors they must be after wading through your innards, emerging victoriously. I bet they can teach the lil whipper-snapper bacteria on your tongue a thing or two.
Then all that ass i ate was completely pointless?
Definitely not. Diversification leads to stronger troops.
I'm usually more surprised by every tv-show and movie depicting someone brushing their teeth and then rinsing their mouth with water after!? What!?
Is that not how you brush your teeth? Because everybody I know brushes their teeth like that.
It's how I learned it but it turns out... the most health benefit from tooth paste comes from not rinsing it out. The fluorides do better work that way. Also the main reason why you should brush 3 minutes. No mechanical or cleaning reason. It's to keep the fluorides on them.
Harvard says to rinse.

Yeah, but you will swallow everything you brushed off - even worse with morning mouth. That's why I brush a second time and don't rinse the second go.
I still rinse, but as of late have taken to using mouthwash between meals each day.
The mint hurts my mouth. I use a specific toothpaste, but I've used many kinds, they all hurt the inside of my mouth. I have to rinse to make it stop. Idk if other people think tooth paste hurts. My dentist compliments me on my teeth, they are not in terrible shape, my teeth dont hurt, its my mouth. idk what it is that makes toothpaste hurt but I have to compulsively rinse.
Super late, but I don't know about you but there's fluoride in my tap water. A bit from toothpaste is negligible.
I've been told to spit out the extra, but dont rinse. It's supposed to help your teeth absorb the fluoride. Also been told not to eat or drink for about 20 minutes after, not just for fluoride aborption, but because brushing gets rid of a protective film over the teeth and they are more prone to wear and tear until it's built up again.
I put it on before, after, and then before putting it in my mouth. Because in the span of those few seconds I can never remember!
Gotta rinse off the roach poops.
Put the paste on the tongue.
this right here. directly in the mouth and swish it onto your teeth
Yep
1 - Squeeze paste into mouth so you can sense exactly how much you're using. 2 - Wet toothbrush (because everyone knows that magically removes anything nasty in the bristles). 3 - Put in mouth and spread paste around and only then switch toothbrush on. 4 - Divide mouth into 8 segments and brush 2 segments at a time till the brush signals 30 second mark. 5 - Get really bored at how long this is taking. 6 - Either tough it out to the 4 stop/starts signalling the end of 2 minutes or give up half way through and brush everything really hard for 5 seconds.
If youre asking, its both at the same time. Sometimes even on purpose.
I don't understand.
I thought that was one of those preference things.
Hot or cold water?
Both
Before and after, it just feels nicer. This is all down to preference. Always did it afterwards until I saw my girlfriend do it and tried it. It's just nicer with wet bristles
