Where did you learn this? I've never heard this recommendation before and it sounds pretty out there.

Edit: it turns out that apparently both the American Dental Association and the National Health Service of the UK recommend not rinsing immediately after brushing. Huh, TIL.

    It makes sense if you think about it. The flouride needs to rest on your teeth to harden them properly.

    I've updated my comment. I wouldn't have intuitively thought about this because why would I think that it would take time for Fluoride to take effect, or that whatever is left after rinsing wouldn't do the job? Thanks.
