    flouride treatment? it was like 10-15m. then they took out the trays and you rinsed your mouth out. and they told you to not eat anything for 20m so the flouride had more time to absorb, because any friction on your teeth would scrap it off.

    toothpaste also has fluoride and the idea is the same.

        yes, that’s how ever flouride treatment I ever had worked… because your in a dentists office.

        toothpaste isn’t a flouride treatment. it’s toothpaste.

          So it’s safe to say there is some amount of time flouride should remain undisturbed on your teeth for best results.

          Most toothpaste also contains flouride.
