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.

Your daily oral hygiene routine plays a key role in maintaining your teeth and gums. Plaque naturally forms throughout the day, and if it isn’t removed effectively, it can contribute to enamel wear and gum irritation over time.
