    Is that not how you brush your teeth? Because everybody I know brushes their teeth like that.

      I’ve been told to spit out the extra, but dont rinse. It’s supposed to help your teeth absorb the fluoride. Also been told not to eat or drink for about 20 minutes after, not just for fluoride aborption, but because brushing gets rid of a protective film over the teeth and they are more prone to wear and tear until it’s built up again.
