Brushing your teeth straight after a meal may not be the good habit you think it is.

Excessive acid in some foods and drinks dissolve or eat away the enamel surface of the teeth. By brushing straight afterwards the damage is made even worse.

To help control dental erosion, it is recommended you avoid brushing for at least 30 minutes after eating or drinking acidic foods or drinks.
