Like who tf made up that rule? Maybe it’s just a different kind of dirty???
edit 1/26: i apologize for the dumb posts that I make when I am high
Food contains sugars and other things that cause plaque. Food gets stuck in between teeth. Bacteria love that shit.
Toothpaste is an abrasive cleaner that can contain things that kill bacteria. Tooth paste is usually minty, making your mouth feel fresh.
Sodium Laureth Sulfate is what makes toothpaste foam and what makes your mouth “feel” clean.

Also humans lack a stable tooth-friendly microbiome in their mouths. At least not ones in modern societies, I mean maybe someone in remote areas of the world (who has never eaten refined sugar and never used mouthwash, still eats unprocessed+fibrous foods etc.)?
It doesn’t. It’s mainly the toothbrush that cleans the teeth.
Yes. Imagine how filthy your teeth would be if you just chewed the toothpaste, and skipped the mechanical cleaning of brushing/flossing.
Probably the same person who insists that rubbing soap on my dishes is “safer” and “cleaner” than dipping them in cheese sauce.
I mean other than the chemistry around the issue, it’s obvious that one breaks down your teeth and the other stops it from happening. Or, one exacerbates it and the other slows it.
I take it you brush your teeth during showering :)
Sweating makes my body dirty, why the hell does showering in water make it clean???
