LONDON: A Harley Street celebrity dentist, Dr Richard Marques, recently warned people to brush their teeth right after breakfast on a famous social media platform TikTok.
Dr Marques said that we should wait at least 30 minutes after eating to brush our teeth or at least 10 minutes to eat after brushing our teeth. It gave the active ingredients in the toothpaste a chance to do their job and protect our teeth by making enamel hardened.
He said that the precious enamel that coats the teeth became temporarily weakened after eating due to the acids present in food, so we risked our teeth to damage by brushing right after eating.
