"after" can still mean waiting a while and then brush.

Sure, technically you are right but don't tell me that's what was implied.

Im sure you, like me, have seen people at work brushing their teeth straight after eating lunch and THIS practice is bad (applies to breakfast, dinner etc.)

Yeah, I don't eat directly after eating. Not because I knew the information you shared or anything, so thanks for the info.

It's because I don't like the feel of brushing out whatever little bits of food may have been in my teeth. It feels like a waste. I like to wait a little until most of the little bits either absorb or work their way out. Usually a few hours. For example, today I ate lunch at 1 and brushed at about 3.

Yeah, eating after eating almost defeats the purpose but it's usually sooo worth it.

Then you need to be clearer in your First post and buy wooden tooth picks

No, my post was as clear as it needed to be. If they want expert advice they should go ask a dentist. I'm just a guy with nice teeth. No toothpick needed, I use a water flosser. =)
