I am here to remind everyone that the single most important oral hygiene measure is to brush your teeth after each meal. That includes not eating anything between meals.

Then comes using toothpaste.

Then comes visiting your dentist regularly.

Them comes everything else, that includes fluorine..

If you aren't brushing your teeth when needed, the rest is almost wasted.

Brushing your teeth right after is actually harmful for your teeth.

Your outer layer of your teeth get softer after contact with most foods. It takes a while (40+ minutes) for your spit to harden them again. So the brushing will wear this outer layer down if you're always doing it right after the meal.
