I was told that you're not supposed to brush your teeth after vomiting because it just grinds the acid in rather then waching it away... and to rinse and swish instead.. is this accurate information? just wondering.. I gave someone this advice and I was just wondering if it's correct.. THANKS!

Actually, the first thing to do is rinse your mouth and use a gargle type method. The acid from the stomach ( which is in the vomit ). After rinsing, then,yes, it is ok to brush your teeth because if anything that remains in your mouth after rinsing may be caught in between your teeth.

I had comparable problems with my first new child. we are advised that our tooth and gums improve into progressively extra mushy jointly as pregnant, and bleeding can take place every time you sweep your tooth. I experienced this the entire being pregnant with my first son...i might brush as quickly as an afternoon because of the fact thats all i ought to deal with. i'm now 27wks with my 2d new child and have not experienced plenty if any sensitivity or bleeding jointly as brushing with a organic toothpaste. organic toothpaste would not comprise fluoride. which curiously is the ideal reason to sensitivity, bleeding and...theoretically the tooth decay. I recommend going to a organic meals keep on your toothpaste. you need to be conscious a brilliant distinction, you will get a purifier mouth, unfastened from man made components, and that i'm extraordinarily much valuable that your nausea and vomiting will end. :) For myself, I certainly have very mushy and fragile tooth, and have tried maximum each thing on the marketplace from sensodyne, to arm&hammer to crest and colgate. being pregnant in basic terms made this concern worse until eventually i attempted an organic and organic sort.

I've never heard of 'not' to brush afterwards... brushing helps cleanse the teeth and tissue (area), so I would recommend brushing afterwards... a mild mouth rinse would be good as well to help get rid of the 'taste' following vomiting in addition to the brushing.........
*hope your friend is ok*
