Dentists at the Columbia University
Dentists at the Columbia University Irving Medical Center and the Mayo Clinic say people should wait about 30 minutes to brush their teeth after consuming acidic foods or drinks. Acids weaken tooth enamel — the protective outer layer of the tooth — and brushing too soon can remove it, which can increase the risk of tooth decay.
“Foods and beverages that are high in acids wear away the enamel that protects your teeth,” the American Dental Association says on its website. “This changes the appearance of your teeth and opens the door for bacteria that can cause cavities or infection.”
North Boulder Dental Group explains that people’s teeth go through two processes known as demineralization and remineralization every day. Demineralization occurs when bacteria from the foods and drinks we consume throughout the day create acid that attacks the enamel of teeth.
Meanwhile, tooth remineralization happens when vital minerals found in saliva, such as calcium and phosphate, bond to the teeth to fill in the weakened areas of enamel that are broken down over time by acids and plaque. Dentists say waiting about 30 minutes to brush after consuming acidic foods or drinks allows tooth enamel to remineralize and build itself back up.
