Yeah, I totally get what you're saying about the gritty toothpaste feeling. I've tried the no-rinse thing too, but after a lifetime of rinsing, it just felt...wrong somehow? And honestly, my mouth didn't feel as fresh afterward. But switching to a milder mouthwash was a game changer for me too—no more stinging gums or watery eyes from that intense minty burn. Funny how we all have these little quirks and preferences when it comes to dental routines!
Have you tried diluting mouthwash with water? I started doing that to stretch my budget a bit and found it actually cut down on the burning sensation too. Honestly, I was skeptical at first because I thought it wouldn't be as effective, but my dentist said it's still fine as long as you swish properly. Also, anyone else find floss picks way easier to stick with than regular floss? Regular floss always felt like such a hassle to me...
