Q. Hello good doctor. I am a so called newbie to all this and am now two weeks into my treatment. All is going well, well there are no problems which is always good. But… I have learnt that after eating sugary snakcs or drinks you are not supposed to clean your teeth for an hour after doing so. Is there any truth to this? If this is the case then should I ignore it so I can my aligners back on quick time? So many conflicting messages flying around these days!,
A. Hello Newbie, what I usually do is to floss and brush straight after and put aligners back in if im away from home and work then i just floss brushing after meals esp after sugary snacks can create some acid, but rinse with water before brushing to remove the sugars Dr R Kumar
