Podcast Episode #31: Rinse or Spit After Brushing?

If you could raise your kid’s IQ by a couple of points, would you? In this episode, Dr. B reflects on how humanity is so focused on changing the future that we don’t consider how modifying our past and present behavior might have the same outcome. By using a hydroxyapatite-based toothpaste, you can prevent neurotoxicity in your kid, raising their IQ by the same number of points that gene therapy would lead to. However, using the right tools and products is no use if your protocol is wrong. Today, Dr. B addresses the question of whether to rinse or spit after brushing. The short answer is to spit but not rinse, however, there are a few caveats based on the time of day and the toothpaste you are using. Tune in to find out how hydroxyapatite toothpaste works on a molecular level, why saliva is useful when brushing, and how long to leave your toothpaste in your mouth. Don’t miss out on this important information!
