myLot reputation of 81/100. hiccup (6473)   ranked 45 out of 52 in mythbusters2 years ago

Ive came across while reading, I do a lot of that, some dont think so, never mind for them.

We hear a lot of thing, that you can do, or that you can not do.

To the point two very smart fellows have a TV show all about MYTHS. But Im not going to talk about them, but what I read, from what i can see this came from the daily mail, where ever that is, (many news papers have the same name) like the star,the sun,morning hearald.post. you get what Im saying.

Here is a mythe.
MYTH: Brush teeth after eating sweets to avoid decay.
FACT: You should never do this,says DR Phil Stemmer, a dentist at the teeth for life clinic in London. Whenever you eat something acidic or sugary it causes a temporary softening of the enamel.
so if you brush straight away, you are scraping off this protective coating and,in effect,spitting your teeth down the drain.
Wait at least an hour before brushing with fluoride tooth paste as the enamel will have hardened by then.

Interesting! I don't think I've ever brushed my teeth straight after eating anyway as tend to do in the morning and at night but that is worth remembering!

Well they say that you learn a new thing each day, and this is mine today.

It is logical I suppose, but please don't tell my son as it would be just another excuse he would use to dodge facing the toothbrush!

I've never heard of that. But I guess that makes sense with the acids and sugars. Of course, no one in my family brushes as soon as they get done eating. My kids brush in the morning and then again at night, before bed.

Yes! That is my view, too, and then the glycerine that is in most toothpaste also traps the bad things right next to the tooth enamel where it does more damage. A lot of dental health is dependent of sound nutrition, too, a point overlooked by many.
