Good advice but when you brush your teeth always wait about 20 minutes first.

Why?

Why?

Probably to let your saliva get rid of any sugar content

I heard ages ago that it was something about neutralising the acids.

As the two other posters said.
Fruit together with sugar, juices and pop will attack the enamel and if you brush while the enamel has softened you risk losing it over time.
Allow a little time for your mouth to sort itself out first.

It is but it obviously breaks down at some point if not looked after.

There's only a thin layer though.

I wouldn't worry too much because if you suffer from pain anywhere including your teeth then there will be help available.

Above all, phone your dentist first and take their advice!
