this is nonsense.

you're not suppose to eat/drink after brushing, esp anything acidic.

because you want the fluoride in the toothpaste to stay on your teeth. and it's like 10-15m.

you are suppose to rinse your mouth. just like you rinse the flouride treatment at the dentist.

    After a a treatment at the dentist you spit, not rinse.

    How long does the treatment sit on your teeth before rinsing?

    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.

    My dentist has never asked me to rinse my mouth with water after the flouride mouthwash (or the trays back in the day)
