From a website......

In order to protect your teeth, Dr. Balshi recommends rinsing your mouth with water immediately after drinking a soft drink and brushing at least 30 to 60 minutes later. Dr. Balshi adds, "Waiting to brush allows the tooth enamel to mount its own defense against the erosion caused by acids found in soft drinks. This is typically accomplished through protective agents in the saliva that help repair and rebuild damaged tooth enamel. If you brush your teeth too soon, you will brush off the affected layers of the teeth and prevent the teeth from mounting its own defense."
