English term or phrase: will scrub away the surface

Prevention is essential, to stop the erosion becoming worse. There are several things you can do:
• Diet: cut down on acidic foods and drinks, especially fruit-based soft and fizzy drinks. Restrict
them to mealtimes when saliva levels are high and help neutralise the acids
• Use a daily fluoride mouth rinse (make sure it is pH neutral - see manufacturers label)
• Good oral hygiene. However, DO NOT clean your teeth immediately after a fruit juice or other
acidic drink - the teeth are softer following the contact with the acid, and brushing them will
literally scrub away the surface
• Drink acid drinks through a straw. This has been found to help some people, because the drink
then bypasses the front teeth
• Chew sugarfree gum after soft or fizzy drinks
• Children - limit soft and fizzy drinks to mealtimes and encourage them to drink water or milk
between meals.

dañar el esmalte con el cepillado

Explanation:
es una forma de decirlo, la idea es esta, que, al estar los dientes más sensibles tras estos zumos, si se cepilla inmediatamente podrías dañar la superficie, que en castellano siempre lo he oído como esmalte.

la verdad es que no lo sabía, habrá que tenerlo en cuenta! Este texto te puede servir de ayuda:

3 El cepillado después de las comidas puede hacer más daño que provecho.
Aunque es importante cepillarse los dientes por la mañana y por la noche, no es necesario hacerlo después de cada comida. De hecho, esta costumbre puede resultar más perjudicial que beneficiosa, especialmente tras la ingestión de alimentos ácidos como los cítricos, dado que el cepillado eliminaría el esmalte debilitado por el ácido.
