Homework Help: Health

Posted by mysterychicken on Tuesday, January 27, 2009 at 11:59am.

Hi again..sorry I havn't been asking questions these days as my sister (y912f) is always on :P
I wanted to know whether it is better to brush your teeth after eating or before. Because mostly everyone does it before but I don't see the point when they're going to get dirty again. Does it make a difference if you do it before or after?
Thanks -MC

The common belief is to brush after eating, but there seems to be some evidence that is not wise after eating acidic fruits. Check these sites.
