    The flouride in toothpaste doesn’t work if you rinse it off immediately. You should not eat or drink for at least 30 minutes after brushing.

      Get a mouthwash with floride in it. Floss to get everything out, rinse, brush to clean everything, rinse, take a drink of water cause you won’t have any for a bit, mouthwash to polish everything up, don’t eat or drink for as long as possible (like right before bed so it stays clean)

      Funny, those 30 minutes I something I did by default since it feels wrong to directly bring those clean, vulnerable teeth into immediate contact with anything.

      i just reapply it sometimes, granted it uses more. but its cheap enough you can get toothpaste in bulk. i use stannous flouride, and potassium nitrate.
