Another good habit that a lot of people practice is brushing after meals.
But dental experts argue that brushing directly after eating is not the best idea.
The process of breaking down food in our mouths leaves an acidic residue behind, and this weakens the enamel of our teeth.
Brushing your teeth while the enamel is weakened damages the enamel and can strip it away.
Enamel doesn’t heal, and once it’s gone, it’s gone for good.
And lost enamel leads to tooth sensitivity.
You do still want to make sure that no food particles are sticking around in your mouth though, so rinsing out with cold water is a better idea.
