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.

      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!

      This website is wack:

        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.

      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.

    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)

    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

    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.

    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.
