It is bad for your teeth to eat sweets after toothbrushing coz the bacteria can feed form the sugar.

what about sugar free sweets (eg sugar free polos), coz they dont contain sugar but it says theyve got 'sweeteners' in them?

is that bad for you as well?

Anything you eat/drink (except water) causes erosion  to the enamel of your teeth. Enamel, as far as I know can never be replaced once its gone, so it would be a pretty good idea to stop eating after you brush your teeth.

shit, it can never be replaced?!
and no, i havent been eating after tooth brushing, I was just thinking whether eating polos (sugarfree) would help freshen teeth?/?



Technically, no. True tooth enamel is generated by the body when we're very young and we are unable to regenerate it later in life. In most cases of wear and tear or injury to a tooth, dental professionals are able to rectify missing areas by using synthetic enamel substitutes.

I don't like eating period after I brush my teeth, except for maybe sugarless gum. It's just bad in general to have food sitting on them after brushing.
