Why You Shouldn't Brush Your Teeth After Eating: A Reasonable Explanation
In the past (albeit not so distant) there was a theory that teeth should be brushed immediately after eating.
However, modern dentists believe that such practice can cause dental problems.
British dentists explain why brushing your teeth immediately after eating can be harmful to your health.
Richard Marques, a British dentist, claims that brushing your teeth immediately after eating is bad for your teeth because after eating, tooth enamel temporarily becomes weaker due to the acids present in foods.
If you start brushing your teeth immediately after eating, you can seriously damage the enamel.
Marquez suggests cutting down on foods and drinks that contain high amounts of acids.
These additives wear away tooth enamel, which can lead to the development of cavities and the formation of dark plaque on the teeth: in medical terms, to tooth enamel erosion.
In fact, doctors have not yet come to a unanimous opinion on when it is worth brushing your teeth. For those who prefer to use a toothbrush in their mouth after eating, it is worth waiting at least 30 minutes and 10 minutes for those who begin this hygienic procedure before eating.
