You should try to avoid brushing your teeth straight after drinking coke (and soft drinks, energy drinks, sports drinks and juices) as these have a lot of acid in them with softens the enamel of your teeth.

Rinse with water after drinking something acidic and wait 20-30 mins before brushing. Brushing too soon will wear off the softened enamel. However, not brushing at all will leave all of that acid (and sugar) in your mouth for much longer which puts your teeth at risk for wearing down and getting decay.

The best idea is to limit the amount of acidic drinks you have. And if you do have them, try to have with a meal, instead of sipping for 20mins (or longer). Long-term acid (and sugar) in your mouth only results in harm for your teeth.

Look after your teeth. Dentures are no fun.

After you brushed your teeth do you have to brush it again after drinking Hollicks would it damage your teeth if you dont?

After brushing your teeth, consuming sugary drinks like Hollicks can contribute to tooth decay if you don't brush again afterward. The sugar and acidity can weaken enamel and foster plaque buildup. It's best to wait at least 30 minutes after drinking to brush again, as brushing immediately can damage enamel softened by the acids. Rinsing your mouth with water can help mitigate the effects until you can brush again.

My son-in-law believes that drinking coffee after brushing is good for teeth because it coats them. I can't imagine what it coats them with that would be good -- it only stains them. What's true?
