It takes extended and repeated exposure to stomach acid to rot your teeth. So unless you are inducing yourself to vomit frequently, as in you are bulimic, then I think your teeth are safe.
If I barfed and brushed my teeth immediately after, will my teeth still rotten?
I would have done mouthwash too after brushing my teeth to be sure all the stomach acid is gone.
Reply:If you did not force yourself to vomit like with bulimia and it does not happen on regular basis the best thing would be to brush your teeth with toothpaste which contains fluoride such as sensodyne. Make sure you don't brush to hard. However, if you force vomiting and it happens on the regular basis, your teeth will suffer the consequences; the enamel which covers the lingual surface of teeth will be eventually destroyed by the acid.
Reply:just swallow it
Reply:Actually, brushing your teeth right after vomiting is kind of bad. Your teeth have already been exposed to (unharmful, unless you keep doing it) stomach acid, and you're wearing them down more by brushing them.
If you vomit again, drink a glass of water with baking soda in it to neutralize the acid. Brush your teeth in an hour, and it's safe.
