Is It Bad to Brush Right After Eating?


Many people think brushing right after a meal is best — but is it? Actually, it’s better to wait about 30 minutes.

Why?
After eating, especially acidic foods (like citrus fruits, coffee, or soft drinks), your tooth enamel softens slightly. Brushing immediately can wear it down more.


Better way:

  • Rinse your mouth with plain water after meals.

  • Wait 30 minutes, then brush gently.


Protect your enamel, protect your smile!
