A member asked:
Was wondering if you eat candy and after 30 minutes you wash your teeth does that causes a lot of damage?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Better: Better to brush and floss or at least rinse out right after the candy. The longer you wait the greater the risk. Sticky candies are worse than let us say chocolate.
