When you brush your teeth do you use a glass to rinse, or drink out of your hand?

[YesterdaysChild]

When you rinse after brushing do you use a cup, or just take in water with your hand?

Use a glass/cup

Use your hands

[zeitgeist057]

I don't typically rinse either way. What I do is I rinse the toothbrush, then use the rinsed brush and rinse and repeat again once or twice. This usually gets any residual toothpaste out of my mouth. I also don't use the typical amount of toothpaste, which is a huge gob that would last me about 5-6 brushings:

left side is about what I use

I used close to the amount on the left. Toothpaste actually doesn't do much, it's mostly just for flavor. You can also use pure xylitol

"There’s not really a problem with using too little toothpaste. In fact, you don’t even have to use toothpaste at all."

But yeah, if I need to rinse my mouth, I will just use my hand or bend down and suck from the stream rather than use a glass. I'm very unsophisticated.

Actually I pour the mouthwash into the lid of the mouthwash and I drink that and put the lid over my toothbrush to use for the next day but as a kid I used to cup my hands together and drink from my hands

I was told by a dentist that you don't rinse after brushing you spit only. Rinsing washes away the flouride that's supposed to sit on your teeth for a certain amount of time.

[Sparkie460]

I have never heard that before.

[mandyfire98]

Just what I was told. He said you're washing away all of the flouride off of your teeth if you rinse immediately.

[YesterdaysChild]

@Sparkie460 Me either. Who wants to taste toothpaste the rest of the day? 🤐🤐🤐

[Sparkie460]

@ Mandyfire98 I guess it's working for you since it looks like you have nice teeth.

[Sparkie460]

@YesterdaysChild at least it's a clean taste

[mandyfire98]

You're allowed to drink water and stuff later on obviously but you're supposed to let it sit on your teeth for half an hour or so.

[LazerBean]

We have a glass in our main bathroom we use. I drink out of my hand if I happen to use the other bathroom though.

[exitseven]

I have the little paper cups. I rinse my mouth exactly three times.

[YesterdaysChild]

Why 3?

[nolabels]

Cupped hands.

Quicker, easier, no cost, no mess, no wet cup sitting around to get moldy.

[Unit1]

I use my hand to redirect the stream right into my mouth.

[FunkyMonkee]

I keep a bottle of water next to my bed since I spend most of my time here and, before I go to bed, I'll have a drink

[YesterdaysChild]

You brush your teeth in bed?

[FunkyMonkee]

No, in the bathroom. Then, before I go to bed, I have a drink of water.

[krin_m]

I picked "hands" but I use a mouthwash as well, so I start with hands, then use a glass for the mouthwash.

[Nazgol]

With hand. Tried with cup when younger, was cool but uncessary

[collie22]

I get water right from the faucet 😊 for that

[MementoMori777]

Hand, who uses a glass? Lmao

[YesterdaysChild]

Apparently, some do.

[MementoMori777]

Smh lol

[Iron_Man]

Drink out of the faucet

[YesterdaysChild]

I'd like to see that on a small bathroom sink. You may get a crick in your neck.

[Iron_Man]

It’s a larger sink not a problem

[Iron_Man]

Very tall deep and large

[YesterdaysChild]

Do you know how much garbage is at the end of the faucet, especially if it has an aerator on it that traps stuff?

[Iron_Man]

It’s clean I don’t touch the Fossett I just touch the water. I wash my face to what’s the problem besides, I spit it out the toothpaste

[YesterdaysChild]

I wonder if you have a lot of iron in your water? 😂

[Iron_Man]

I have no idea I don’t drink city water in Miami Florida at home but I do drink water at restaurants out of the tap and water fountains. I drink Zephyrhills springwater I drink alkaline 88 water and Evian water

[YesterdaysChild]

Guess you didn't catch the joke. :(

[Iron_Man]

I don’t mind joking, but I’m under a lot of stress now in my life

[Iron_Man]

Read my profile, you’ll see it

[YesterdaysChild]

Doesn't explain much. Perhaps you need a time out from G@G?

[Iron_Man]

Never mind you don’t have a heart you are offensive

[YesterdaysChild]

If you are having problems I don't understand while you would be on this site. If I had someone die I certainly would not be wasting time on here. I would be hanging with other Christian brothers and sisters who would support me. Don't you have a church?

[Iron_Man]

Who is a level one rookie to speak to me in your manner? Because I have a girlfriend on here that supports me mentally I didn’t post for over a month any way in question no I don’t belong to a church. I live too far away I don’t like the way you’re behaving. This conversation is completely over you know nothing about me.

[YesterdaysChild]

Talking about being touchy. Sheesh.

[Sparkie460]

I use a little disposable cup.

[Jerre]

I always use a plastic glass

[SnowedIn]

Hands.

[YesterdaysChild]

Give Snowedin a big hand!

[SnowedIn]

Lol.

[TheUniqueOne96]

Hands.

[LiamJHayden]

Cup.

[LavLavLuv]
