Stop Brushing Teeth After Waking Up, Can Cause Cavities

"Stop Brushing Teeth After Waking Up, Can Cause Cavities"

Dream - After waking up with a sound sleep, the first step that is often taken is to go to the bathroom and brush your teeth.

Brushing your teeth after waking up has become a common habit practiced by many people as part of their daily routine.

Brushing your teeth after waking up not only helps eliminate discomfort in the mouth, but also plays a role in maintaining dental and gum health and preventing potential oral health problems.

Several studies show that brushing your teeth after waking up may not be as effective as anticipated. Some medical experts suggest drinking water first after waking up. This is actually much more effective than immediately brushing your teeth. So what is the reason why you shouldn't brush your teeth right after waking up?

1. Teeth Becoming Less Healthy

If you are used to brushing your teeth before drinking a cup of coffee in the morning, try to stop this habit. It can make your teeth less healthy because the fluoride content in toothpaste decreases due to exposure to the liquid that enters.

Actually, dentists recommend waiting for half an hour after brushing your teeth before you drink any beverages. Dentists also give another advice, which is to brush your teeth after breakfast.

2. Causes Tooth Decay

When brushing your teeth immediately after waking up and drinking water immediately, it can reduce the effectiveness of fluoride in protecting teeth from damage and cavities. Fluoride is a mineral that effectively strengthens tooth enamel and fights the growth of bacteria that causes tooth decay.

Well, if you drink immediately after brushing your teeth, it can remove fluoride from the surface of your teeth, thus reducing its protective effect.

3. Causing Nausea

Brushing your teeth after waking up can indeed help us feel fresher, but for some people, brushing their teeth after waking up can cause nausea. Especially for pregnant women, they feel very nauseous when brushing their teeth after waking up.

4. Weakening Enamel

The translation of the given 'Bahasa' text to 'English' while preserving any html tags is: "Enamel on teeth is still related to nausea when brushing teeth after waking up. This nausea often causes us to vomit. This vomiting is what can damage our teeth. The vomit we produce contains stomach acid that can erode and weaken the enamel."

If our enamel weakens due to the vomit we produce, it also affects dental health. Report by Amanda Syavira/ Source: Brightside.Dream.co.id is available on WhatsApp Channel, follow to know the latest information on this link https://bit.ly/DreamcoidWAChannel.
