In the morning, when do you brush your teeth, after or before eating breakfast?!


Question: In the morning, when do you brush your teeth, after or before eating breakfast.?
I have also heard that you are supposed to wait at least 15 minutes to brush your teeth after eating certain foods due to the fact that the tooth enamel becomes softer and you don't want to ruin it with your toothbrush. On the other hand however, it seems quite silly to brush your teeth before dirtying them some more with apple jacks cereal.

What do you know, and when do you brush those whites (or yellows for some of you)...lol.

Brushing your teeth before you eat is like cleaning yourself before you poo........don't make a lot of sense. LOL Health Question & Answer

when I get up in the morning I quick brush them with water just to get rid of morning mouth.....but then I brush/floss/mouth rinse after I have had my breakfast.
It is also true you should wait after eating to brush certain foods do soften the enamel. I brush/floss/mouth rinse before bed.Health Question & Answer

AFTER eating, of course, because crumbs of the bred will stick on the teeth and will be food for the caries bacteria, which make the holes into your teeth.

If you drink orange or apple juice or other drinks with fruit sourness, you should flush your mouth first and clean your teeth not before half an hour after breakfast because the sourness makes your dental enamel soft and that is not good when you will clean your teeth.Health Question & Answer

I always brush after I eat. Once you finish eating, clean your dishes up, get dressed and get into the bathroom to brush...15 minutes will have passed. Best plan is to brush after breakfast and before heading out for work/school. That's my routine :-)Health Question & Answer

i rinse before eating then brush afer eating. or else the orange juice will taste gross.
