  I suppose you don’t HAVE to. But I find it unhygienic to eat before brushing my teeth as soon as I wake up. Might just be my personal issue. 🤷‍♂️

      I was told by a dentist to brush my teeth before eating. So at least one dentist would disagree with that I guess?

        I’ve read that it helps protect your teeth from all the acidic food you’re gonna eat for breakfast, not necessarily for “hygiene” purposes.

        The heck? I thought both eating and brushing sort of soften your teeth temporarily, so better not to eat right after brushing OR brush immediately after eating.

        That's the 1 in 5 dentists who don't recommend a fluoride toothpaste.

      What, you don’t do it both before and after?

      It’s just like showers, you take one as you get out of bed, and another one right before going to bed.

      Some people are just dirty, sheeesh…

        Almost no one showers more than once per day.

      One reason we brush our teeth is to apply a protective coating. Brushing your teeth immediately after eating can damage your teeth.

      A more appropriate analogy is asking whether you’re jumping in a pool of mud before waxing your shoes.

      Wait… That’s not normal? I wipe my whole body down before hand.

      Teeth and ass aren’t the same thing and that’s not an equivalent comparison considering multiple people have pointed out that brushing before gives a protective coating or at least is less damaging since there aren’t food acids present, softening the enamel. A quick google search confirms this.

    For me it’s the other way around. After eating I want to clean my teeth.

    The taste of toothpaste lingers for good a while and ruins the flavor of breakfast, especially orange juice.

    The Way™ is Coffee/tea/juice to temporarily overwrite that morning breath feeling, then breakfast, then brushing teeth.

      The way™️ is to drink enough water and actually brush before bed. If you’re sufficiently hydrated, and you don’t have all that bacteria shitting up your mouth then your morning breath will be a lot less stanky.

        Your way is to have to pee all night.

        Dude. I'm getting near to 50 years old. Thinking about water after 7pm is a recipe for 10x bathroom trips in the night.

  I brush my teeth as soon I wake up to get rid of morning breath (possibly due to dry mouth)
