So many people tell me that they brush and then eat breakfast. There logic is that tthey have stank breath and its disgusting not to brush first. My logic is, I want to have fresh breath after eating and not have stuff stuck in my teeth. Wouldn't you want to leave the house or whatever after brushing?

You shouldn't brush your teeth right after a meal, especially when you had alot of acidic food/drinks (in this case, oranges/fruit juices for breakfast). This is because the acid will soften your enamel and brushing right after wears your enamel which leads to dental erosion.
So if you really want to brush after breakfast, its better to wait at least 30 minutes because our saliva can neutralize the acid.
I was wondering the same thing weeks ago, so I searched around for this lol

I'm not sure why people are REALLY divided over this topic. I brush after since I don't want my breakfast stanking up my mouth in the mornings, otherwise I'd have to chew gum more often than I do.

Bad for your teeth to brush after eating. I dunno what the fuck you guys eat for breakfast but I've never had stanky ass breath after breakfast. I do use mouthwash after breakfast though...

I don't have stank breath after eating breakfast. It just feels better to leave the house after brushing. I have always brushed after eating, and I have only had two cavities in my whole life and my teeth are straight and they are not sensative. Brushing before eating doesn't make sense to me. Orange juice after brushing..terrible.

I probably could never eat before brushing, with the dry weird taste in your mouth.

yeah, it's weird.
asians brush before they eat, white people brush after. this of course is a stereotype and generalization, but we all know stereotypes are true.
anyways, i've found it really hard to do anything unless i brush my teeth first thing waking up. my breath just stinks, not only can i TASTE the badness, i can feel it like, growing in my mouth. it's like waking up with a pile of shit in your mouth, and instead of cleaning it out, you stuff it with good tasting food to cover it up and then you swallow it.
logically the white man is right, but what makes me function better, is the asian way. of course i've thrown in my own little twist, i mean, a quick rinse/gurgle, after you eat doesn't hurt and only takes like what, 4 seconds.
oh i duno how the fuck or what the fuck you guys eat, but i usually don't get shit stuck between my teeth, or i just generally avoid food that gets stuck between your teeth because it's so "mah fan", that and it feels like someone shoved a door stop between your teeth.

brushing first thing in the morning before eating breakfast is the best way
bacteria grows a lot during sleep due to decreased salivary flow..so when you eat breakfast there would be more acid produced by them = bad.
personally i just use mouthrinse to decrease the bacteria colony, eat brkfst, then brush before heading out. I myself like ulic find that there's just that awful breath when i get up, i have to get rid of it before eating. I brush after because i want to get rid of the trapped food/debris and also the smell from my glass of milk.
i'm a dental hygiene student if that helps at all haha

on a side note, the best way to get rid of bad breath is to floss, brush your tongue and drink adequate amount of water regularly.

month, otherwise most of the time, bad breath is caused by your unhealthy
digestion system.
Pouring water into your stomach might not always get rid of the smell. It's
better to have your dinner and sleep earlier.

Eating food is self-cleansing to the teeth. When you chew your food, it removes the plaque that has accumulated overnight. You should then brush afterwards to remove the food (and sugars) and freshen your breath.

I brush before I eat in the morning and brush, floss and rinse my mouth with mouthwash before I go to bed. I didn't have good dental hygiene for years until my family doctor told me to try sonicare. I've been using sonicare for over a year now and even my dentist is shocked how clean and healthy my teeth and gums have become.
