As promised in the previous post, which you can read here if you haven't already done so, the topic of oral health myths was the subject of a second part, and right now you are reading its introduction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don't forget that it is thanks to your feedback in networks, in the comments section of this blog or in any of the communication channels that we have enabled, that we can continue to debunk more and more myths, so if you have any doubts or if you think of any that we have not mentioned, let us know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And now, without further ado, let's get down to business!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Therefore, the ideal is to brush your teeth 20 minutes later <\/strong>eating. If you want to know more about the PH of the mouth, we recommend you watch this video:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
