Do you rinse with water after cleaning your teeth with paste?

Depends on what paste you use. Wallpaper paste is water soluable and you wouldn't want to dilute it with water after applying it to your teeth.
It is recomended that you rinse your mouth with water after appling toothpaste because you don't want to walk around looking like a dog with rabbies.
And yes, I do... you should too.

of course you do

Was this answer helpful to you?  Yes  /  No



flossybean
No I don't...

Reason why? by spitting and not rinsing out you leave a coating of Fluoride on your teeth which helps prevent decay and sensitivity. Rinsing just washes it away.

So correct advice is to spit not rinse !

always with mouth wash, leaving paste residue in your mouth does no harm at all just keeps your breath minty for longer

Personally i clean my teeth, rinse with water and then inhibit bacterial growth by using a Mouthwash / corsodyl.

Hope that helps x x

Yes - I do now - after spending years brushing the toothpaste away with plain water - I discovered I was actually washing away the very protection I was using the toothpaste for!
Best technique is brush your teeth then rinse - use a tongue scraper as well - it's like cleaning the house but never hoovering the floors! (Dentist's advice).
