Do you brush your teeth before or after breakfast?

From what you've said I can assume that I have nothing to worry about because my breakfasts are never acidic.

Oh, and stomach acid is awesome but it doesn't work in every case. Some types of bacteria are resistant to pH changes.

The bacteria in your mouth create acid whenever you eat any kind of carbohydrate, including sugars. So I can't really think what you could be eating for breakfast that won't cause the acidity to increase.

Not sure how much of that is any good, but the first part explains.
