Why do toothpaste affects the taste of food after brushing teeth ?

Soon after brushing the teeth , if we taste food ; it tastes not of its original taste , but tasteless . Now what is the reason for this ?


We brush our teeth and afterwards we rinse our mouth with the water . But after rinsing also , there will be little residual amount of toothpaste left on the teeth and gums . Rinsing will not completely eliminate them .



Our toothpaste contains an ingredient called SLS or Sodium Laureth Sulphate . This is responsible for the foam we get when we brush our teeth .


Now this ingredient suppresses our taste buds present on the tongue . This effect will be there for one to two hours of brushing the teeth .



But eating soon afterwards brushing the teeth is not advisable . As long as the power of toothpaste retained in the mouth , till that time germs attack will not be possible on teeth .
