Dentist dispels dangerous teeth brushing myths

February 15, 2021  11:40

Some popular myths about brushing teeth can damage tooth enamel and oral health if people follow them.

According to German dentist Markus Felber, brushing teeth immediately after eating is not recommended as tooth enamel is protected by an acidic coating, which must re-form after eating.

Felber also warned of the regular use of baking soda and other enamel whitening products, as they can damage your teeth. But he recommended using dental floss daily.
