"Mine recommended it to help strengthen enamel, especially after acidic foods."
Yeah, my dentist mentioned something similar. She said fluoride rinses can really help neutralize acids and protect your teeth. I've been using one for a while now, and honestly, my sensitivity's improved quite a bit... worth trying out for sure.
My dentist brought up fluoride rinses too, but honestly, I wasn't sure they'd make much difference at first. Decided to give one a shot anyway after noticing my teeth felt kinda rough after drinking lots of lemonade and coffee. Been about two months now, and weirdly enough, my teeth do feel smoother and less sensitive. Guess there's something to it after all... anyone else notice improvements like this?

Yeah, I was skeptical too. My dentist recommended fluoride rinses a while back, but honestly, I figured it was just another upsell. Still, after dealing with some annoying sensitivity (ice cream was becoming a real pain... literally), I grabbed a generic store-brand rinse to test it out. Surprisingly, after a few weeks, I noticed cold drinks weren't bothering me as much. Teeth definitely feel smoother too—didn't expect that bonus.
I stick with the budget-friendly brands though; no need to splurge on fancy labels when the cheaper stuff works just fine. Glad to hear it's working for others too. Guess dentists occasionally know what they're talking about after all... who knew?

Haha, glad to hear it's helping! Honestly, even as someone in the dental field, I was skeptical at first too. I remember when I first started recommending fluoride rinses, I worried patients would think it was just another unnecessary product. But after seeing so many people (including myself) get relief from sensitivity and smoother teeth, I'm convinced it's worth it. Good call sticking with the budget brands though—no need to overspend if the cheaper stuff does the trick.
I've been using fluoride rinse for a while now, and yeah, it seems to help... but does anyone else find the taste kinda weird? Maybe it's just the brand I'm using, but it's got this odd aftertaste I can't shake.
