This is what I've been told. IN the morning, use mouthwash to kill the bacteria in the mouth, as there isn't any real plaque build-up at night if you've brushed before bed and not eaten anything. Then after you eat, brush your teeth to get rid of the particulates from your food.

[@jacquelineguiyab2204]

Ngl that sounds more good lol

[@inquisitivenessandcontempl9918]

Actually you've got quite a bit of bacterial biofilm build up in your sleep because sleep reduces the production of saliva, and the mouth is dry, and the bacteria are able to better attach to a dryer surface of the tooth. You may not have food particles in your mouth if you brushed and flossed before bed, but you do have active bacterial development going on. The bacteria have plenty of stuff to feed on in the mouth at night even if food is not present. Epithelial cells, organic and food residue on your tongue, etc. So actual cold turkey brushing, no compromise, is king. And during the day if you keep hydrated the saliva is protecting your teeth by remineralizing the enamel and making it more difficult for bacteria and food particles to attach to the enamel.

[@battleshipyamato8505]

But if you brush before breakfast, then your breath is going to stink. It makes more sense to have breakfast, wait 30 mins., then brush your teeth. Flouride layer for the whole day + fresh breath. Sounds better to me

[@111AlphaOmegaAndre]

​@@battleshipyamato8505the dentist in this video just finished telling you it's better to brush then have breakfast but whatever, to me the best way is a quick brush & rinse when you get up then eat breakfast then brush floss brush your tongue with a tongue brush swish & gargle with mouthwash then enjoy your day that would be the best way imo.

[@5point0h67]

Dang I never thought of it that way. I figured it would be wiser to brush after breakfast because you would have fresh breath and clean teeth all the way until you eat again. Brushing your teeth when you first wake up right before eating breakfast sorta felt like working out getting sweaty, showering, and then putting those same sweaty clothes back on

[@redsky3696]

Agree

[@zamzar2]

you doin it right don't forget to thoroughly rinse and brush with water

[@inquisitivenessandcontempl9918]

When you brush right after breakfast the environment of your mouth is acidic and brushing in this situation may weaken the enamel. You are supposed to wait until 30 mins after breakfast before you can brush. However, chances are you may be able to forget to brush at all. Who in the world hangs around for 30 mins at home after breakfast before work in the morning just to be able to brush properly? So my best bet is to brush right after waking up.

[@db90990]

You're meant to wait 30 mins after brushing until you eat. And vice versa, unless you've ate something sugary - you have to wait 40mins-1 hour before brushing, as you could damage your teeth. This is all advised by NHS England and I am surprised you didn't mention it.

[@doctoredable]

Along the same lines of reason I often tell my patients that like sweets that the best time to eat things that contain sugar is after brushing and flossing or using Softpiks. Sugar causes no direct harm to teeth. What causes harm is the creation of acids when plaque bacteria convert sugar into lactic acid. The acid causes cavities and also promotes the growth of bacteria that cause cavities and gum disease.

Well you can also argue that if you brush your teeth before breakfast that you will then end up with food in between your gums ALL DAY long until you brush at night..

Wait 30 minutes before getting your breakfast. It's actually not good to go for coffee right away (typically an hour and a half after waking) as the caffeine has an effect. Drink water instead before anything else in your body.

[@NickDrinksWater]

It makes sense that even after brushing at night, bacteria slowly develops again as you sleep, so if you wake up and eat its basically feeding that newly developed bacteria. Another thought is the fact you're eating more of that bad bacteria which could cause an imbalance in the gut overtime. I have to take a pill everyday when I wake up and I cant eat for 45 minutes to an hour anyway, so for me it makes sense to brush right after I wake up and then eat, and I just chew gum inbetween eating food throughout the day since brushing more than twice a day just wears down your enamel quicker, so I've always preferred chewing sugar free gum inbetween brushing

[@tiltedbybox6118]

After 72 hours, plaque hardens into tartar, which forms along the gum line and makes it hard to clean your teeth and gums completely. Eventually this buildup irritates and inflames your gums, causing gingivitis. So on that note. I brush after meals twice a day.

You shouldn't be tasting toothpaste with your eggs anyway. Why? Because you should always wait 20-30 minutes after brushing your teeth in the morning before you eat.

Dr. Donald Pereslete DDS So, do we brush again after breakfast to remove the breakfast debris?

[@choochd]

I'm not a DDS, I'm just a dental student but what I would say is, that it depends how devoted you are to your oral hygiene. It may provide some benefit to brush again, (if you brush correctly), you could also rinse with mouthwash and floss even. But you could also just swish well with water and for most that is sufficient until you brush again (your saliva will take care of everything in between). However, if you consume anything acidic like orange juice, I would advise not to brush within 30 mins as you could brush OFF the enamel.

[@skasmow]

@@choochd i brush first ! and after 1-2 hours i drink a fresh orange juice and eat my toast. Can eating after drinking orange juice cause damage to the enamel?

[@choochd]

@@skasmow Absolutely not. That is perfectly fine. Truthfully, consuming any amount of acid (as found in citrus fruits or juices) OR fermentable carbohydrates, will unavoidably decrease the oral pH (make it more acidic). This causes a temporary demineralization of the enamel when it falls below a pH 5.5. Thankfully, your saliva restores all of this mineral content back to our teeth in between meals as your oral pH recovers back to neutral levels ~pH 7.4. So the best tip here other than brushing twice a day and flossing, is to just make sure you allow your saliva several hours (2-3) between meals to allow remineralization of the enamel. It's not the best to be grazing on snacks throughout the day as this will keep the oral pH below the critical threshold. You can also chew sugar free (especially xylitol-based gum) to stimulate even more salivary flow between meals! Hope this helps!
