Growing up, every adult I knew yelled at their kids (myself included) to brush their teeth before coming to the breakfast table. I always refused, and ate first. I mean, wtf?! Your teeth are just gonna get greasy after you munch on links, eggs, and pancakes.

I agree with you, Mike. What's the point of brushing them before breakfast?

I agree with you both! Orange Juice is just plain NASTY after you brush your teeth. AFTER breakfast for me! I brush 'em, floss 'em, and Listerine 'em at least three times a day. A little bit of neurosis kicks in after each meal....So long...and thanks for all the fish!

Since I live alone, I brush my teeth after I have had breakfast. But if I was living with someone who I had an intimate relationship with, then I probably would go back to the way I was raised. The exception being that I would also brush after I had breakfest.

Before Breakfast, and before bed, what happens in between is up to me.
It s all a cycle. Do you think, oh I am eating a meal leem go brush, or would you rather brush after. But even after, is always gonna lead to another meal...just brush, that is all I say.flickr

Re: Do you brush your teeth before or after breakfast?
I always brush after I wake up, just to get rid of that gunky feeling. I don't always eat breakfast, but if I do (usually just oatmeal), I may or may not brush again, depending on how rushed I am.

Those little bacterias (the ones that work all night to ruin your teeth), they are fast workers...the damage begins less than twenty minutes after you eat something. So you gotta brush right after eating anything.
(I know this works, because my kids have only one cavity between the four of them, in seventeen years)
PS You also gotta floss or use an oral jet thingy, both for those hard-to-get bits AND for gum massage...perfectly good teeth can be ruined by gum disease.
