The way I’m used to it is: 1. Wake up 2. Breakfast 3. Brush teeth.
Having it as 1, 3, 2 doesn’t make sense for me.
For me it’s because my mouth tastes terrible and I want that gone asap
Yeah morning breath is fucking rank.
I want that gone before I go to work. I have breakfast at work at like 9am after starting at 7am. I aint waiting 2.5 hours to brush them bad boys.
I hate the taste of coffee with toothpaste residue in my mouth, so I never brush before breakfast.
I use Therabreath toothpaste. It doesn’t have that crap mint taste and doesn’t have the chemicals that makes food (especially orange juice) taste like crap. Also it really works to keep your breath nice without that fake disgusting flavor.
Edit: there is a mint flair but it’s really undertoned
Note. I just use it and like it. No financial incentive.
I’m very interested in trying out some new toothpastes. I’ll have to give this a try! Thanks!
Brush, shower, get ready, breakfast
That might be the reason why my breakfast is coffee&cigarettes
That makes it worse!
But it covers the morning mouth stool
Please brush your teeth before drinking your morning coffees
Wouldnt your breakfast over power the taste?
For me, just drinking some water gets rid of that.
Because that is better for your teeth. Talk to your dentist about it. https://www.healthline.com/health/should-you-brush-your-teeth-before-or-after-breakfast
This website is wack:

I wasn’t expecting the website to outright refuse me from accessing it after refusing to be tracked, and with such bullshit lingo too
Not sure about this particular site, but in my experience with sites that don’t have full time web developers on staff and only get a small percentage of their traffic from the UK/EU/EEA, complying is simply cost prohibitive since it will require a significant development budget without much payback, so by law, they are forced to block access to their site in affected countries.
How does it take too much work to just not spy on people? Or at least not spy on people in the EU, which the site already can detect so it shouldn’t be a problem. In fact, it would probably be less work than making the site not work for such people.
You’re not wrong. I’m on my phone but if you can, please provide another source. Tbh I’ve just got the cookie modal blocked with ublock and the cookies autodelete
I find minty toothpaste makes it a lot more difficult to eat afterwards. My grandad used to work in Egypt and he’d bring the orange toothpaste home and it was much easier to wake up, brush then eat using that stuff.
The article doesn’t back up your statement.
What it does say is that:
- brushing teeth regularly is important
- brushing teeth when enamel is weakened by acidity is destructive
- breakfasts foods tend to be acidic (well, acidity raises after a meal in general)
And with this it reaches the conclusion that brushing your teeth before breakfast is safer than brushing right afterwards, and is more likely to become a routine than if you wait 30-60 minutes after your first meal. It even ends up with:
Brushing in the morning, whenever you’re able to do it, is still better than skipping brushing your teeth at all.
And if you’re from a country where visiting a dentist is affordable, you have probably heard an additional advice - visit a dentist for a checkup and a professional cleaning at least twice a year.

This is what my point is. What are you arguing?
If you smell your breath first thing in the morning it stinks. This is a sign of bacterial overgrowth. During the day, the biggest barrier to this is natural saliva production and agitation through movement of the mouth. These things are drastically reduced while you sleep and thus leads to a build up of bacteria. This is why it is advised that you brush your teeth after waking.
Technically, it is also advised that you brush your teeth after each meal but that is not practical for most.
Because acid in your breakfast can damage your the enamel of your teeth when you brush. (I’m not a dentist but that’s what I found from most health-related websites.)

Who the fuck eats acid for breakfast?
Food is generally acidic, basic food would taste bitter and awful.
May I intoduce you to the Swedish delicacy lutfisk?
Popularly known for being one of the most horrible things, haha. Even the Swedes don’t like it, they just keep it around as a prank to play on foreigners and need strong alcohol as a chaser to get it down…
I think you’re thinking about surströmming.
We eat lutfisk at the end of our traditional Christmas feast to counteract… I think you call it heartburn or acid reflux in English.
It tastes quite bland if you ask me.
Oh, my bad haha, I absolutely was
Orange juice is a pretty common breakfast drink.
Or did you mean acid of the lysergic variety? That won’t damage your teeth, though you’ll have an interesting work day
that Hunter S. Thompson guy i guess
Just a heads up that Healthline, although it largely provides accurate information, is also known to pedal a lot of quackery.
I don’t eat breakfast.
I’m in (hopefully the same boat) with toothbrushing for breakfast. If I eat in the morning I feel terrible.
Smelling food in the morning or thinking about eating makes me feel sick. Idk why. See you at 11 for lunch.
The health related reasons others gave are interesting, but my reasoning is this pretty simple: On normal weekdays I don’t really have breakfast, so brushing my teeth as one if the first things makes sense. On weekends I like to have breakfast with my family so I’d like to get rid of morning breath before I talk to people.
Healthier on the enamel, tho I don’t do it (and most of the reason you brush is to get off the built up stuff from overnight, not clean off breakfast)
But what about the rests of food from the breakfast???
You save it in the secret food stash for energy boost
Wait 30 mins and brush then

Also, I get toothpaste stains on my good clothes if I brush after breakfast
you know how your teeth feel smooth after you brush? that smoothness helps things like coffee not stick to them, in turn helps avoid stains
brushing before coffee is legit the thing to do
@SuperRecording I’ve always been told the opposite. As long as you brush soon after you actually prevent stains. And to always make sure to at least rinse with water after coffee.
Brushing immediately after anything acidic,like coffee, is highly damaging to the enamel of your teeth.
Because you have to wait 30 minutes after eating before you brush your teeth or you damage them. I don’t have that time.
So I rather brush first, then shower, then make breakfast.

I do the same.
Cuz my mouth and throat feel disgusting in the morning. Eating or drinking right after brushing doesn’t bother me either.
Interesting, it’s kind of the other way around for me! I wake up ready for food. After brushing, my taste buds are knocked off by the toothpaste and I loose all apetite.
I don’t usually eat breakfast and I try to be vigilant about brushing my teeth, so doing it first thing is pretty natural for me.
My dilemma is usually closer to whether I brush my teeth before or after taking a shower.
During
Shower Brushers mater race
Someone call an ambulance! This person is having a stroke!
that too ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
I brush before the shower, as usually my wife is in the shower then. She brushes after her shower, when I’m in there. BTW we both do that after breakfast.
Brushing before breakfast can be done against the morning smell, but when you brushed before going to bad, there shouldn’t be anything on or between your teeth.
You should wait about 30min after eating something acidic: https://www.cuimc.columbia.edu/news/brushing-immediately-after-meals-you-may-want-wait . Some people don’t have time to wait. Myself I don’t eat breakfast at home, I brush my teeth, go to work and eat when I arrive.
