Surprisingly, the answer to that is no! To have a cavity one requires a tooth, some of the right kind of bacteria concentrated in an area where they can create and harbor acid on the tooth, sugar that the bacteria will eat and convert to acid, and some time for the acids to dissolve calcium out of the tooth enamel to make a hole.
So you see, if sometime during the day you cleaned all the bacteria off your teeth so they are not there to create any acid, then the sugar has no affect on the teeth. Also note: If bacteria have been successfully cleaned off the teeth, then it will take 24 hours for those bacteria to multiply and aggregate adequately to create and concentrate acid in a sheltered place on the tooth. In other words, your teeth are safe for 24 hours.
So THE TRICK here is to know how to effectively clean your teeth once each day to make them safe. Check our web site regarding disclosing solution as a tool to teach yourself effective tooth cleaning, and as a tool to monitor yourself periodically to verify you are still keeping your teeth safe.
Now here is an interesting taboo. DO NOT brush your teeth immediately after drinking any beverages (other than water or milk). Check in with us next week to learn why brushing your teeth immediately after drinking nearly all prepared beverages can do serious harm to your teeth.
In the mean time teach yourself to be a superb once a day effective tooth cleaner. And it makes absolutely no difference when during the day you do this cleaning.

Saliva is our best ally because it is a natural mechanism that produces bicarbonate, and recovers calcium because it keeps it in our mouth. In this way, it counteracts the effect of the acid. In addition, chewing gum without sugar is recommended to produce more saliva. Especially at times when we can not brush our teeth.
ReplyDeleteAurora dentist believes that "good brushing is what best removes bacterial plaque . " It does not matter how to start, we have to brush all the surfaces and areas of the teeth, both those that see themselves and those that do not. And, above all, very important, "we can not forget to brush the tongue, because it is " the sponge of bacteria " ».
No matter how well we wash them, there is no way to eliminate the bacteria that accumulate in between the teeth and the molars. Therefore, "from age 12, the population has to start using the silk thread , at least once a day, because if they can not appear more problematic diseases or diseases such as pyorrhoea," concludes Llodra.
