Do you rinse with water right after brushing your teeth? Many people do, but it may be reducing some of the benefits of your toothpaste. After brushing, simply spit out the excess toothpaste and allow the fluoride to remain on your teeth a little longer to help protect and strengthen enamel. Have questions about your dental care routine? Call +1 616-266-2611 to schedule an appointment.
