These beverages contain high amounts of acid, and brushing your teeth right afterwards will momentarily make your teeth week. It is ideal to brush your teeth one hour later.

- Eating food with great temperature differences simultaneously. If you eat something extremely hot like chicken soup and eat ice cream right away your teeth will be damaged due to a great temperature change.

gum tissues as well as the tooth’s enamel layer. - Grinding your teeth will wear them down and cause pain in the jaw.
