By brushing your teeth right after you eat can help you get rid of bacteria but it can also affect your tooth enamel especially if you consumed anything acidic. Try waiting at least 30 minutes before brushing them.

Thanks for the tip. It may also affect tooth's sensitivity because of the intake done, that's why the rest is also needed

Brushing your teeth morning and night is very much enough. brushing the teeth immediately after eating can help to clean your teeth but it will brush away some of the enamel that's needed for the protection of teeth

The best way to protect teeth and tampering with your enamel is wait for 30 minutes to an hour after eating to brush your teeth. And this will give time to saliva a chance to naturally wash away food particles, so your mouth returns to its proper pH level.

There is no need to brush teeth immediately after eating. Just clean your mouth properly after eating and make sure nothing is stuck. Brush your teeth two times daily and never forget to brush before going to bed.

Yes you should. Not all the food we eat are processed immediately. Others were just stucked in the corners of our gums. That's when we need to brush it to avoid bacteria and cavities to affect the teeth. But if you ran out of time during lunch breaks, at least gargle it to cleanse your mouth. :)

If we do brush after eating that's obviously a very good thing as it will make mouth fresh and bacteria free. But u only need to to this in night time.

According to the American Dental Association, brushing your teeth 30 minutes to an hour after eating is the greatest approach to ensure that you're protecting your enamel and not interfering with it. You should brush your teeth 60 minutes after eating, especially if you ate acidic foods.

Brushing your teeth immediately after having a meal can do serious damage to the enamel. Experts recommend you should maintain a time gap of at least 30 minutes to 1 hour between having a meal and brushing your teeth.

There is no consensus on when or how long to brush your teeth after eating. Some people wait until there is apastoral action left on the teeth by the eater, and others use toothpaste. The decision depends on many factors, such as your personal needs and who else in your home is cleaning your teeth.

Brushing immediately after consuming something acidic can damage the enamel layer of the tooth. Waiting about 30 minutes before brushing allows tooth enamel to remineralize and build itself back up.
