Experts have warned that the habit of brushing teeth within 3 minutes after eating can lead to tooth damage.

“Most cavities start between teeth where a toothbrush cannot reach,” Dr. Hawes said. “Some dental floss contains cleaning ingredients, which can be helpful, but avoid products with PTFE (permanent chemicals) or petroleum-based waxes, such as microcrystalline wax.”

The explanation is that if you finish in the order of ‘floss → brush → gargle’ before going to bed and do not rinse with water, you can expect the effect of protecting the tooth surface throughout the night.
