    So it’s safe to say there is some amount of time flouride should remain undisturbed on your teeth for best results.

    Most toothpaste also contains flouride.

      I don’t think anybody was debating that. it is nonsense that you shouldn’t rinse your mouth after brushing. yes, you shouldn’t do it right away, but it’s fine after 10 minutes.

          surprisingly, I was thinking the same. your conclusion (keep the toothpaste on a little longer) is different than your (flawed) initial statement (don’t rinse your mouth at all after brushing your teeth).

            Jesus fucking Christ. Yes it should be inferred from that statement to never use your mouth again after brushing your teeth. Be gone pedant.
