Dr. Shadi Manochri, Clinical Director at Smart Dental Aesthetics in London, England, went viral on Tiktok.
She described three cases in which brushing can only worsen the condition of the teeth, and it's better to skip it, or at least wait until you brush your teeth. The acidity in the mouth will be neutralized naturally, but this will happen only after a period of half an hour to an hour - the time it takes for the saliva reserves to replace and successfully fight the acidity. Drinking water or chewing sugar-free gum will cause a greater accumulation of saliva in the Mouth, which can neutralize the acid faster. Use an alcohol-free mouthwash to wash the leftover food (or vomit) out of the mouth. Chew gum without sugar because this is an excellent alternative to produce saliva and this will help to neutralize acid in the teeth. Drink a lot of water: water also plays an important role in neutralizing the acid by adding saliva.
