Well, seeing as I brush my teeth before going to bed, I've satisfied my belief of reducing some bacteria before the morning. But throughout the day, there's always bacteria in your mouth, no matter what you do. So, I brush my teeth after eating any meal. Including breakfast. To do it before eating changes the taste of my food, which isn't preferable. But after eating, and I've brushed my teeth, I have a nice minty freshness.

I suppose everyone's different :smile:

Affer every meal? Aint nobody got time for dat

Im before and i was suprised to find that many of my friends do it after breakfast. Why would you want to have breakfast with all that bacteria still in your mouth?
Thats just my opinion though! If you do it after please dont be offended

Your meant todo it after breakfast I mean the bacteria is in your mouth anyway if it were going to affect taste drastically or make you I'll it already would have. The bacteria is only part of the issue (I was given a long lecture about this by my dentist a few years back) but basically the main damage to teeth is done by acids, as the PH in your mouth naturally lowers when you eat. Brushing your teeth after (guess what? Toothpaste is a base for a reason) should neutralise most of the harmful acid in your mouth swell as clean away plaque etc etc
And at post above oh god orange juice after brushing your teeth is sickingly disgusting :tongue:

just yuck lol :tongue:

Your avatar used to be my signature.

Well, I don't really have breakfast.

I get up at 6.30am, brush my teeth and go to work for 8am and then I don't eat until 11am/12pm.

So it'd be a bit strange for me to be awake for 5 hours without brushing my teeth. :zomg:

Best analogy of the day :rofl:

Yeah I brush mine after breakfast - when I get up I've only got around 10 minutes before I'm downstairs eating anyway.. so why would I bother making my teeth clean for such a short period of time when you're not even meeting and talking to people :lolwut:

It's just natural bacteria you have in your mouth anyway, you brush your teeth before lunch and before dinner as well then? :rolleyes:

Leaving it overnight is longer than between meals. For me it's just good hygiene practice. I chew gum a couple times a day to keep clean between brushes.

Each to their own I suppose.

I only really eat breakfast and dinner, so no I don't take a toothbrush to work or college (nor will I to uni either, I expect), but I used to, yes. It may be weird to other people, but my teeth are great, so I'm not complaining. I've never needed any fillings or any dental work except to have braces way back when.

I've gotten out of the habit of brushing after snacks. It's generally big meals I brush after. It was an old habit, and they die hard.

I've never understood why people do it before, surely you will just have to go and do it again afterwards?

Exactly, it just doesn't make sense.

I agree. It really does baffle me that people brush before they eat breakfast and when I tell people I brush afterwards they look at me in disbelief like what I've said isn't logical at all. Each to their own I guess. :dontknow:
