Not sure if this is 100% scientifically backed but I read a bit by a dental hygienist on a forum that you shouldn't rinse when brushing with proper toothpaste because it can help remineralize the teeth if when its not rinsed away after

Its annoying but its a good way to cut down on mindless snacking at the very least for me so its something I do sometimes. Hope its not voodoo

I wish there was like a netting thing that you wedged in before eating and then after just removed along with all the plaque

I guess now we know why it doesn't exist

Lol, thats amazing! But why, I don't totally see the problem?

Oh, it gives some physical shudders and looks terrifying to me :-). That felt pretty strong so I had thought that it might be a reaction most folk have.

Nah, I would pay money for that shit and it would eliminate damn flossing for the most part :)

Like a dental damn for oral
