Brush teeth before or after having breakfast?!
Question: Brush teeth before or after having breakfast.?
Which do you do and which is "correct".?Health Question & Answer
Answers:
BEFORE!!!! Definitely BEFORE!
Especially, if you didn't brush your teeth before going to bed.
Think of it this way - if you leave dirty dishes in your sink overnight, the food will dry on the dishes, making it harder to clean in the morning. With your teeth, when you wake up you have plaque on your teeth, which overnight dries...Your mouth dries up during sleep, because your salivary flow lessens. also, what causes cavities is the plaque mixed with food/acid from your breakfast and drink. If you brush prior to eating, you won't have plaque on your teeth, hence no way to cause cavities.
Definitely brush before going to bed to get the food/plaque out of your teeth from the day. And brush 1st thing in the morning. I preach this to my patients all day everyday!

I'm a bit O.C. so I like brushing BEFORE and AFTER for these reasons:
BEFORE: If you ever eat breakfast just right after waking up, I don't think morning breath would mix well with food. Brush you teeth or do anything to "rinse" everything stale that was stuck there for the last 8 hours of sleep. LOL
AFTER: I agree with the other answers. This is a must-do routine... Brush your teeth after EVERY meal. It lessens the "teeth stains" , garlic breath and avoids getting food stuck in between your teeth.Health Question & Answer

after, because if you do it before you defeated the purpose of brushing, and you will watch off the floridde from the toothpaste making it ineffective. Some claims that they cant eat breakfast bc of morning breath if this is you case then you need to brush twice before and then right after. But to answer you question it should be after breakfast.Health Question & Answer
