Why brush your teeth after meals?

2023-04-14
After eating, the mouth is in an acidic environment.   Bacteria ferment carbohydrates to produce acid, which peaks about 12 minutes after eating.

For most people, brushing reduces the time it takes for acid to erode teeth, and reduces the risk of diabetes and cardiovascular disease, so it's best to brush after three meals a day.   If you don't have brushing conditions, rinse your mouth with water.
