    Yep, same with drinks especially acidic stuff! I was told NOT to brush straight after juice, soda, etc. because it actually screws up your enamel. Bit late, my enamel is fkd but yeah my dentist said to wait an hour after drinking and eating. And then not to have anything including water for half an hour after brushing! They say to leave a coating of toothpaste on my teeth for as long as possible after brushing. I hate it honestly lol, I always want water 😭

    Growing up I was definitely told the opposite lol especially with vomiting and with soft drink (soda, coke etc)!

      rinsing with water should help neutralize the acidity/balance it, i always rinse with water before brushing. also it keeps the toothbrush cleaner.
