    Is that not how you brush your teeth? Because everybody I know brushes their teeth like that.

      It’s how I learned it but it turns out… the most health benefit from tooth paste comes from not rinsing it out. The fluorides do better work that way. Also the main reason why you should brush 3 minutes. No mechanical or cleaning reason. It’s to keep the fluorides on them.
