Should I brush my teeth?!
Question: Should I brush my teeth!?
Or wait 30 minutes!? I just ate a cracker o_o!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Answers:
You should wait 30 minutes!. Foods which have sugars (like starch found in crackers is a sugar) alter the PH of the mouth!. When your mouth is normal it is in a state of mineralization, that means that your saliva is actually adding small amount of enamel back to your teeth, however after you eat, your mouth become acidic for about 30 minutes and goes through a period of demineralization where the sugars in your saliva from the food are dissolving your teeth (a very small amount of course)!. However if you try and brush at this point you will actually cause damage because your toothbrush will be scraping the acid across your teeth doing further damage, many toothpastes are also slightly abrasive - which doesn't matter when your teeth are in a normal state but if they are in a demineralization state then its like rubbing steel wool across your teeth!. Mineralization and deminerlization are both normal processes so don't let 1 cracker scare you, overbrushing your teeth can actually scrape off the enamel!. Instead dentists suggest drinking lots of water (and maybe rise with mouthwash) which will stop the dimineralizing process by clearing your mouth of leftover food particles!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Always brush your teeth after every meal!. (the cracker!?) :) Go brush your teeth fast with a fluoride toothpaste before your teeth get eaten away by bad plaque and cavities! Didn't they ever teach you to always brush your teeth immediately!?Www@Answer-Health@Com
