🪥 Brushing teeth wrong?

– Thursday Wellness –

Toothaches. Sensitivity. That sinking feeling when the dentist says, “We’ve got a cavity.” What if the secret to healthier teeth was hiding in a simple habit?

âťť

Don’t rinse after brushing.

It may sound odd, but leaving fluoride on your teeth helps it work longer, strengthening enamel and protecting against sensitivity. It’s one of the most effective — yet rarely discussed — ways to protect your smile. And don’t worry about swallowing a little toothpaste. You’d need to swallow an entire tube at once for it to matter.

Science backs it. Dentists swear by it. In the words of Professor Carlos González-Cabezas from the University of Michigan School of Dentistry:

âťť

I haven’t had a cavity since I was 12, 50 years ago.

🔆 Invitation for Today 🔆

Give it a try tonight. Imagine savoring ice cream without wincing, no more dread of the drill — just stronger, healthier teeth with almost no extra effort.
