flouride treatment? it was like 10-15m. then they took out the trays and you rinsed your mouth out. and they told you to not eat anything for 20m so the flouride had more time to absorb, because any friction on your teeth would scrap it off.
toothpaste also has fluoride and the idea is the same.
I don’t think anybody was debating that. it is nonsense that you shouldn’t rinse your mouth after brushing. yes, you shouldn’t do it right away, but it’s fine after 10 minutes.
surprisingly, I was thinking the same. your conclusion (keep the toothpaste on a little longer) is different than your (flawed) initial statement (don’t rinse your mouth at all after brushing your teeth).

Most toothpaste also contains flouride.

Jesus fucking Christ. Yes it should be inferred from that statement to never use your mouth again after brushing your teeth. Be gone pedant.
