Never brush your teeth immediately after eating

Brushing half-hour after a meal, or after drinking a cup of coffee that you make only the more perishable, the dentist recommended.

 Most of us believe that dental care is brushing your teeth regularly, at least 2 times per day. Those who are hit harder more often, after giving up anything in their mouths, as some cake or a glass of fresh water. In fact, research on a group of volunteers for 3 weeks showed that the brush after meals, drinking, especially of food or drink is acidic, only cause more harm than good.

 That's because right after you eat, acid will penetrate the tooth enamel, and down below the class known as "ivory". Brushing the wrong time - especially within 20 minutes after a meal - will push the acid reaches deeper into the tooth enamel and dentin wear faster than natural processes.

 Dr. Howard R. Gamble, president of the American Academy of General Dentistry, says that you should wait about an hour after eating brush your teeth, to avoid adverse impacts.

At least wait 30 minutes start brushing. In addition, in the teeth to remove acid, Dr. Gamble recommends that you use very clean water rinse, or mouthwash use the neutral.
