Let’s improve unhealthy life even a little!
Support for brushing teeth 30 minutes after eating
There is a theory that says, ‘You should avoid brushing your teeth for 30 minutes after eating.‘.
It has not been clearly proven yet, but it is said that the oral cavity becomes acidic soon after a meal and brushing teeth is not good for teeth.
As it is covered in many articles, I often see comments from experts such as dentists.
There are many opinions that you don’t have to worry so much, but there are also many opinions that you should worry about it.
According to the Japanese Society for the Preservation of Dentistry, there is no need to worry too much about dental caries, but if you have a tooth that has lost enamel (near-white color) on the surface of the tooth and has exposed dentin (a little yellow), you should be careful, as it is called ‘acid decayed tooth‘.
Also, it seems to be better to avoid brushing teeth right after drinking acidic drinks.
Views on “Avoid brushing your teeth for 30 minutes after eating.”
In order to prevent dental caries, it is recommended to brush your teeth early after a meal, as has been generally recommended. However, if you consume foods or drinks, such as beverages with strong acidity, it is recommended that you brush your teeth in consideration of dental erosion (dissolution of the surface of a tooth by acid) (We have not confirmed that “Toothbrushing should be avoided for 30 min after ingestion of acidic foods and beverages”).

Search for ‘acid decayed tooth’ in your Google photos and you’ll see what your symptoms are.
There are various symptoms from mild to severe, but it’s scary.
There is a problem if you wait 30 minutes after eating before brushing your teeth.
If you try to brush your teeth after 30 minutes, you sometimes forget it.
This is very bad for the teeth!
So I created an app.
It’s easy to use.
Just touch the “Thank you for the meal” button on the start screen.
The 30 minute timer works.
(The number in parentheses is the timer end clock time.)
It tells you when to brush your teeth in 30 minutes.
Even if the application is closed, you will receive a notification.
If you want to brush your teeth immediately this time, you can cancel it by pressing the x button at the right end.
If you don’t use a toothbrushing timer, you can turn it off in the options screen.
Support for sleep and next meal
Do you eat at the same time every day and sleep at the same time?
There are many people who wake up late in the morning or eat when they are hungry because their life rhythm is irregular.
There are many people who stay in bed on holidays.
In such a life, there are times when I eat even though it’s only 4 hours since breakfast.
Also, I sometimes fall asleep right after eating.
‘After Meal Timer‘ can help you make proper time between meals and reduce going to bed right after eating.
“It’s been six hours since lunch, so let’s have dinner.”
“It’s been about 3 hours since I ate at night, so I can go to bed now.”
“It’s good to have breakfast for about 12 hours after dinner.”
About fasting for about 12 to 16 hours, it says that many people seem to have good health.
It is also recommended to try the method suitable for your body.
These times can be checked with a circular gauge, and health advice is displayed so that you can refer to them when you take your next meal.
You can also notify by pressing the alarm icon in the upper right corner.
So, here’s an app called ‘After Meal Timer‘ for iPhone and Android.
Just press the “Thank you for the meal” button after a meal to get started.
See you later.
