A member asked:
Can you brush your teeth, use mouthwash and then chew a vitamin c?

Yes: I would suggest chewing the vitamin c first, waiting about 20 minutes, then brushing and rinsing. Brushing immediately after chewing vitamin c may erode the enamel of your teeth since it is acidic.

Chew vitamin c first: Why are you chewing it. Could be too acidic. Chew it first then brush, etc.
