We always remind patient to brush their teeth….but brushing too - TopicsExpress



          

We always remind patient to brush their teeth….but brushing too soon after eating can cause problems. Consuming acidic foods and beverages, such as sports and energy drinks, citrus fruits, wine and tomatoes can erode tooth enamel (the glossy outer layer of the tooth). Brushing your teeth too soon after eating and drinking these items can cause more damage because you are essentially brushing the acid into the teeth, not getting rid of it. Instead, you should rinse your mouth with water after consuming acidic foods and beverages and wait 20-30 minutes before brushing your pearly whites!
