How about brush your teeth with fluoride and spit it out instead?

Wouldn't it then suffice to brush your teeth? Am I missing something?

Can't you just brush your teeth afterwards?

Absolutely, it's saved me a lot of pain at the dentist since I started on it; that and picking/flossing.

You forgot about fluoride in toothpaste (sarcasm)

Can't imagine what it is doing to your teeth long term.

Didn't you use toothpaste with fluoride? Or is that not enough?
