For those who do not have a cup nearby to rinse their mouth with water after brushing their teeth with fluoride toothpaste, use can use your hand! How?
Cup your hands, forming a tight seal with your fingers. Turn on the faucet and allow some water to fill up your “palm”. Put your face close to the faucet while keeping you hand directly underneath the flow of water from the faucet.
Now without moving your hand, place your lips/mouth to the pool of water you filled up in your hand. Create a suction as if you are trying to drinnk this water but without a straw. Try not to swallow if you have to spit out the chemicals from your mouth.
You may wish to keep the flow of water to a minimum to save water. This technique is good when drinking from a nice waterfall or trickle of water from outdoors.
