How Long Should I Wait To Rinse My Mouth After Brushing?
It is recommended to wait for at least 30 minutes after brushing your teeth before rinsing your mouth with water or any other mouthwash. This time allows the fluoride in the toothpaste to be absorbed by your teeth, making them stronger and more resistant to decay. Rinsing immediately after brushing can also wash away the toothpaste, which defeats the purpose of brushing.
