Colgate Duraphat 2800ppm Fluoride Toothpaste - is 60 second brushing limit really crititcal?

i didn't find it where it says "maximum of 60 seconds brushing" but instead "brush the teeth thoroughly for one minute, morning and evening. Spit out after use; for best results do not drink or rinse for 30 minutes."

i believe this means you brush thoroughly a MINIMUM of 60 seconds (the longer you brush, the better). for why would they ask you not to rinse or drink for 30 minutes after brushing if 60 seconds is critical? not rinsing or avoiding drinks for half an hour gives more time for the residual fluoride to take effect (the longer it stays on the teeth, the better).

but if it you really are that thirsty, go ahead drink. you wouldn't want to die of thirst just because of Colgate. besides, the benefits of residual fluoride in toothpaste is a cumulative one. it requires long term use for us to see the results. quenching your thirst once in a while less than 30 minutes after brushing won't have much of an effect.

Shouldn't take long to go to a store and pick up some Toms of Maine toothpaste. You should get them and probably throw the Colgate away because it's revolting for one person to brush his or her teeth with dead animals! Glycerin can either be dead animals or plant.
