    i mean… how else would flouride do its job if you rinse it off immediately? my routine is: floss, mouthwash, brush.

      Sure, it makes sense now that I’ve seen the recommendations, but previously I just assumed that it worked instantly on contact. I’m guessing that the majority of people haven’t considered the mineral deposition rate of fluoride in toothpaste. :)
