Tackling decay in 13 teeth
My kid’s dentist said the same thing about not rinsing, but honestly, it feels weird to just leave that foamy stuff on their teeth. I have to remind myself (and them) every night: brush, spit, but don’t rinse. It’s a total switch from how I grew up, and sometimes I catch myself handing them way too much toothpaste too. Old habits, right? I do wonder if the no-rinse thing is really making a difference though... my kid hasn’t had any new cavities since we started, so maybe there’s something to it.
