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.
Comment on What's the deal with breakfast in bed?
RebekahWSD@lemmy.world 5 months agoI was told by a dentist to brush my teeth before eating. So at least one dentist would disagree with that I guess?

When you brush your teeth and don’t use mouthwash right after, the tooth paste forms a protective barrier to help prevent erosion and acid damage.

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

Dentist: “Use toothpicks, shove em under your gums! Use the blood as your toothpaste! You can even do it to other stuff, too, like digging out a bladder stone!”

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.
