1 of 5
The logic behind this act is to eliminate the cavities that are induced while eating. However, the mouth itself is equipped to combat cavities, at least after a meal. The mouth is armed with enamel and saliva, both of which can successfully deal with cavities and break the food down. In case you brush immediately, you tend to scrub away the tooth enamel in the process, thereby necessitating a wait for at least 30 minutes to let the teeth heal themselves.

However, contrary to popular notions what hurts your teeth more depends on what you eat rather than how you eat it. Sipping and snacking can be accused of being worse offenders than chocolate. Sipping on cold beverages, especially colored soft drinks can mar the enamel in your teeth, leading to further damage.
