After I finish eating, I will brush my teeth, but my friend said it is not possible to brush my teeth after a meal, is it true?

    You cannot brush your teeth immediately after a meal, because brushing your teeth immediately after a meal is harmful to your teeth. There is a layer of enamel on the surface of the crown. Just after eating, especially eating acidic food, it will make the enamel soft. Brushing teeth at this time is likely to cause damage to the enamel.
