A member asked:
Should you wash your mouth after you brushed your teeth with toothpaste?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Toothpaste: This is not necessary, but if the taste of the toothpaste bothers you it would help. If you rinse with water you may help to expel any foodstuffs from your mouth that were stirred up by the brushing. Mouthwashes often contain antibacterial materials that may help to limit future cavities. Good luck.
