Christmas is a great time of the year when we get together with friends and family and share a drink or two.

Drinking to excess this Christmas?

While the most common problem when you drink to excess can be damage to your teeth due to a fall etc,
a lesser known problem (that you may have never thought about) is the damage to your teeth if you throw up.
There are ways of minimising this damage.
Picture
Most of us have had a few too many drinks at a party and experienced the consequences of those extra drinks.

Being sick is never a nice thing.

Most people when they are sick will reach straight away for a toothbrush and brush their teeth.

THIS IS THE WORST THING YOU CAN DO FOR YOUR TEETH!!!

After you vomit, your mouth and teeth are coated with stomach acids.
These stomach acids then weaken your enamel.
If you brush your teeth straight away then you will brush away your weakened enamel eventually leaving your dentine exposed.

After you vomit you should rinse your mouth with water to remove any acid from your teeth.
Then rinse with mouthwash to get mint fresh again (if needed)

​Wait at least 30 minutes before brushing your teeth.

This is also the case for any time you vomit, it does not need to be alcohol induced.

If you have a stomach bug, a virus, eaten something bad or suffering from morning sickness and if you vomit, you still want to do the same thing - rinse your mouth with water.

Do not brush for at least 30 minutes.​
