Can I brush my teeth immediately after eating?

It is recommended to wait at least 30 minutes after eating before brushing your teeth. This is because the acids in certain foods and beverages can temporarily weaken the tooth enamel, and brushing immediately after can potentially cause enamel erosion. Rinsing your mouth with water or chewing sugar-free gum can help to neutralize acids and stimulate saliva flow before brushing.
