Don’t brush after every meal

M; Did you know that you should avoid to brush your teeth immediately after meals. It’s said by a dentist in the U.S.

F; I’ve just watched such a topic on TV yesterday. It’s said by a Japanese dentist who has the same theory as the American dentist.

M; It’s so amazing and shocked because we had been taught to brush teeth after meals as soon as possible.

F; The point is brushing teeth just after meals are dangerous to damage the tooth enamel.

M; Acid food is said to cause to change the pH in the mouth from healthy alkaline to acid.

F; Just after the meal much influences the balance in our mouth. So we need recover the balance by own saliva after in a while.

M; What a wonder!

F; I think so.

  1. Good morning⛄❄
    That’s right❗
    I believed
    3times a day
    For 3minutes
    After a meal within 3minutes, for long time.
    So, my teeth’s enamel are thin .
    Now, I drink tea or water after a meal.
    I brush
    Light after breakfast
    Tight after dinner
    Without 30minutes after a meal.😁

  2. It’s very dangerous, isn’t it? When I had worked at company, I brushed my teeth after meals three times a day. Soon I retired and brush my teeth one time a day. Because my teeth doctor said to me. “You don’t must be to brush your teeth very much”. Now I brush my teeth before go to bed and without toothpaste. I don’t use to brush at toothpaste, but I brush to spend ten minutes and slowly. I use small teethbrush, too. Teeth doctor said. “Your teeth have many germ before sleep.
    So you should brush your teeth before sleep.”

  3. A: Oh, come to think of it, the other day it was talking about how to brush our teeth on TV programs.
    B: Oh, also it was said that a little child should not eat sour food.
    A: That is the same opinion as this article.
    B: I gargle after a meal, and I want to put out a lot of saliva.
    After that I will brush my teeth.
    A: I’ll do the same.

    By the way,
    The snow on the main road decreased.
    But the road condition in the residential area is still not good.
    I want the power of the sun.

  4. We have heard before from Mr.Takeuchi who is ex-dintist and our classmate about warning of teeth brushing introduced this time.
    However, because we were taught to brush teeth for 3 minutes immediately after each meal since childhood, this warning was very surprising.

    It is the answer my own question when checking my own teeth brushing situation.

    I am brushing my teeth only two times a day in the morning and night. In the morning, I am brushing my teeth immediately after breakfast, so I am not good against this warning.
    But, at night I am brushing my teeth before going to bed, so I am good against this warning.

    1. Yeah…we had already known the topic from Mr.Takeuchi. He had been working as a dentist all of his life just before. He’s still having passion to protect good teeth for everyone.
