Can cleaning my teeth make them more vulnerable to acids?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: All teeth are vulnerable to acids. You should not brush your teeth immediately after eating or drinking things that are acidic and your teeth are at their weakest. Wait until the ph of your salvia returns to a normal state, about 20-30 minutes.
