I disagree about the toothpaste. It can be harmful to swallow toothpaste.

The hygienist rinses my mouth throughly after brushing my teeth at the dentist office at my 6 month check up!?

I realize your comment was written a year ago, but this is not true for everyone, Lots of people have very dry hair. I wash mine twice a week. People with a really dry scalp can go even longer.

Fluoride is a by product of the mining industry and not a nutrient.

I’ve always had my towels in the bathroom, always rinse my mouth after brushing, never put the lid down before flushing, like washing my hands (thoroughly) in warm water and don’t have a hot shower before cleaning the bathroom, I’m 80 years old and quite healthy. Somehow I’ve survived all the germs this article says would make me unhealthy.

Chrissy Krainock Luders, Unless you have oily hair I don't think that's a good idea.

Don't think I'll change doing what I've been doing. Will continue not storing towels in the bathroom. Not going to start leaving toothpaste in my mouth.

At the dentist the hygienist get us to rinse out immediately after the dentist is done ✔️. I'm 56 and apparently being every thing since forever but hey I'm still here to talk 👄 about. Think I'll just soldier 💂‍♀️ on.

I teach infection control and hygiene to professional therapists. I completely agree with not storing towels in bathrooms. And if your toilet is in your bathroom, close the lid before flushing to prevent aerosolising micro-droplets carrying germs onto other surfaces. There's no need to fill your bathroom with steam from a hot shower to clean the bathroom - it makes no difference as the room can't get hot enough - rather, it's the choice of cleaning products and the thoroughness with which you clean that makes the biggest difference. Toothpaste residue in your mouth - I've heard that one before... There are many chemicals in toothpaste that are not meant to be ingested. Only spitting out what you can could lead to problems, especially with young children. I sincerely recommend brushing for the appropriate length of time twice a day, and while you rinse out your toothbrush, swish the remainder of the toothpaste through your teeth vigorously and only spit it out after you've rinsed your brush and put it away. Rinse your mouth with a small amount of water.

So does mine, but then they apply a fluoride treatment at the end, and instruct me not to rinse, eat, or drink for at least 30 minutes. She told me not to rinse my mouth after brushing at home.
