My dental hygienist recently said that if you vomit you’re not supposed to brush your teeth right away. You’re supposed to rinse your mouth out with water to balance the pH levels and after a little while then you can brush.
Yep, same with drinks especially acidic stuff! I was told NOT to brush straight after juice, soda, etc. because it actually screws up your enamel. Bit late, my enamel is fkd but yeah my dentist said to wait an hour after drinking and eating. And then not to have anything including water for half an hour after brushing! They say to leave a coating of toothpaste on my teeth for as long as possible after brushing. I hate it honestly lol, I always want water 😭
Growing up I was definitely told the opposite lol especially with vomiting and with soft drink (soda, coke etc)!

… who would not rinse their mouth first thing after vomiting …?
Some people want to brush immediately to get the taste out faster, but that can damage teeth
Fair enough.
I like to savour the flavor 🤤
