If you have habit of brushing teeth immediately after eating, you should not do it anymore. Why? Dental health experts said, brushing teeth within the period of half an hour after eating or drinking a cup of coffee can seriously impact on tooth decay. The researcher explained, after someone drank soft drinks or acidic drinks, the acid will erode the tooth enamel and the layer below the enamel, called dentin.
Brushing your teeth at wrong time, especially in a time span of 20 minutes after a meal can push acid to be absorbed by teeth much faster, so it will trigger corrosion of tooth decay naturally.
