A member asked:

How come i get so dehydrated after brushing my teeth?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Stan Shih answered

Drink water. : After brushing your teeth with toothpaste, your oral tissues (cheek , tongue , gums) may feel "dried out" even if they really are not. Feel free to drink some water afterwards if it makes you more comfortable.
