Brushing your teeth at inappropriate times
People would think that brushing their teeth is something appropriate to keep excellent oral health, and that’s right. But there’s also a breach between brushing your teeth appropriately and doing it at inappropriate times or with a bad technique. If you care for your dental health and have acquired the habit of brushing immediately after eating something, you might think you’re doing something good, except you’re not. Immediately after eating, your mouth becomes a bit acidic, and brushing in that precise moment will expose your teeth to a mildly acidic environment. Thus, instead of brushing immediately, wait 30 minutes, and your saliva will bring back your mouth into an alkaline state, and that’s an appropriate time for brushing your teeth.
