What is this rinse? You are supposed to leave the toothpaste on your teeth iirc. No water rinse.

Edit sorry realized this comes off harsh but not sure how to fix it. Lmao

With you having to judge millions of children, that you need to get high just to stay sane; you get a pass.

But there is a general recommendation to not eat or drink for 15-30min after brushing to give enough time for the fluoride to bind to any exposed enamel surfaces. It's also better to use a fluoridated mouthrinse over water, if getting the grittyness is what you're after.
