  • I do, just put some toothpaste on the brush and start brushing. My toothpaste doesn’t have SLS and it immediately starts foaming once the brushing starts. Idk why people rinse part of the toothpaste from their brush before brushing their teeth. Maybe it’s chronic dehydration and your mouth is always dry or using super goopy toothpaste that needs extra help foaming?


  • I’ve been told to spit out the extra, but dont rinse. It’s supposed to help your teeth absorb the fluoride. Also been told not to eat or drink for about 20 minutes after, not just for fluoride aborption, but because brushing gets rid of a protective film over the teeth and they are more prone to wear and tear until it’s built up again.










  • Don’t forget, insurance covers 50% before the deductible is met, not after. When a policy has that verbiage, usually there’s a footnote that states how those claims are handled in the future. From what I’ve seen, that could mean that insurance will cover 100% of said procedure after the deductible is met or it could mean a co-insurance of 30%.

    After the deductible is met, OP won’t necessarily pay 50%. The percentage of the bill that OP and/or insurance will pay will be on a footnote at the bottom of the blue plan overview page (at least it’s blue when looking at plans from the ACA marketplace).


  • If you’ve met your deductible, you may not owe for the upcoming procedure.

    However, you’d need to look at your policy or call the insurance company to see if the procedure counts towards your deductible. Normally the plan specifies that its 50% before the deductible and by an asterisk or buried somewhere in your plan’s terms, it may say that it’ll be 100% covered after tour deductible is met.

    Is your deductible and out-of-pocket max the same? If you’ve met both, you may not even owe a copay. If you still haven’t met the out-of-pocket max, you will still owe co-pays.

    Your plan documents or the company will be able to give better answers, as companies and plans can be very different in how they cover things.
