Especially mouth breathers.

I always "pre-brush" - I brush my teeth with the brush, water no paste.

Rinse.

Brush again with paste.

Rinse.

I always use hot water.

I floss a lot. and I use peroxide as a mouthwash occasionally.

But you should have a pretty good idea of the state of your brush's bristles and everything in general without the need for a freaking counter, e-waste and toxic chemicals that device will leave behind.

I also keep a box of bamboo biodegradale tooth brushes on hand for guests and travel/camping/hiking.

My dentist informed me I should not rinse after, it makes sense, leave the fluoride on the teeth to act. I still do, as I find it cloying otherwise, but am focused on clearing the foamed-toothpaste from my tongue and do not 'swish' as I would have in the past.

Of course this advice may have been tailored to my needs somewhat.

You can also use a fluoride rinse after brushing.
