It's better to use a dry toothbrush than a wet one. Gently stoking your teeth with a dry tooth brush and rinsing thoroughly will remove more bacteria and plaque than using a wet brush with regular toothpaste.

You can rinse with salt water to neutralize the saliva again, and floss if desired. [2013] - Nadine Artemis

It really should not take more than 30 minutes a day to evaluate all markets, and it could take only 10 to 15 if you can really focus on the markets instead of your opinions about the markets. All you need to trade on a position basis is a few minutes at the end of the market day to place your orders for the next day. [2004] - Bill Williams
