You should brush as soon as possible.

EDIT: Do NOT brush as soon as possible! Floss and rinse with water as soon as possible, but do not brush just yet. The acid in our food and drink erodes the enamel and minerals that keep our teeth protected. Brushing when these protections are weak damages our teeth and brushes away enamel that can never come back. It is best to wait around 30 minutes before brushing.

"

Answer also: I saw this in an article: Brushing your teeth immediately after drinking acid beverages or eating acid food can harm the enamel, says the Milenio newspaper of Mexico City. Reporting on a study done at the German University of Gottingen, the newspaper warns that acid foods temporarily weakens tooth enamel." Therefore, brushing one's teeth immediately after lunch can be detrimental. Instead, "it is advisable to wait a few minutes so that the teeth recover their strength." SMILE

You should brush your teeth after breakfast. But, at least 20-30mins after eating as tooth enamel is soften after eating and if you brush straight away you can remove enamel. Acidic drinks such as Orange Juice or soft drinks also soften your enamel.

In the interest of good dental and oral health, you should brush your teeth after eating.

It is true that you should always brush after you eat, but what about all those microorganisms you harbor in your mouth? And let's just say that for whatever reason you did not brush your teeth before you went to bed.....I know, I know, but it could happen. As a vegetarian/vegan I became aware of the ubiquity of malignant microbes, especially Candida, that can get out of control due to dietary/lifestyle choices. I would say that you should brush as soon as you wake up and then again if you need to after eating.

u should brush your teeth in the morning and before going to bed.....u should not brush your teeth after eating because the food you eat, contains one calcium that protect your teeth from decaying......if we brush suddenly after eating then that calcium will be washed out from our mouth........so don't brush suddenly after eating.
