over the years I have developed nothing less than a very suspicious streak about experts, expert opinions and 'professionals' --
seen far too much damage from people with bits of paper on their wall -
one thing I saw about a year or so back was an article where 'dentists' (some dentists) were suggesting that not rinsing out our mouths when finished cleaning with toothpaste was a jolly good idea - instead of rinsing - holding the used paste and saliva mixture in our mouths for as long as we could, then swallowing it - they said, it was better for the flouride to be retained.
well ------- so -
I thought to myself - why do we clean our teeth?
surely we do it for at least 3 reasons -
1. to remove soft plaque ------ that's a given - it also releases mobs of bacteria from the teeth and surrounds
2. to apply flouride topically - that is now a given today
3. to stimulate blood flow etc to the gums
so - our brilliant dentists in this case - want us to retain in our mouthes a mix of used toothpaste (with flouride), displaced plaque and what must be bazillions of bacteria - of which a large amount would be potentially pathogenic -------- they want us to hold this basically dirty bilge in place then SWALLOW it ----- for the purpose of longer retention and absorption of the aforementioned flouride
hmmmmmmmmmm - personally, I have not ever liked the idea of habitually drinking a potentially pathogenic bacteria cocktail -
but, then -- I am not qualified --------- I am merely one of the uneducated swill of society -
and, thank god I never ever thought about becoming a dentist
