Get a mouthwash with floride in it. Floss to get everything out, rinse, brush to clean everything, rinse, take a drink of water cause you won't have any for a bit, mouthwash to polish everything up, don't eat or drink for as long as possible (like right before bed so it stays clean)

Got it, thanks, I've updated my comment.

Funny, those 30 minutes I something I did by default since it feels wrong to directly bring those clean, vulnerable teeth into immediate contact with anything.

i just reapply it sometimes, granted it uses more. but its cheap enough you can get toothpaste in bulk. i use stannous flouride, and potassium nitrate.

That would be a great result that I look forward to.

I've updated my comment. I wouldn't have intuitively thought about this because why would I think that it would take time for Fluoride to take effect, or that whatever is left after rinsing wouldn't do the job? Thanks.

Same here. I'm glad your dentist told you though.

Sure, it makes sense now that I've seen the recommendations, but previously I just assumed that it worked instantly on contact. I'm guessing that the majority of people haven't considered the mineral deposition rate of fluoride in toothpaste. :)
