I brush my teeth before I eat breakfast because I can't eat food with my mouth feeling slimy and tastes dirty. So for you brush before or after breakfast?
"Never brush your teeth straight after a meal as it can damage your teeth. This is especially important if you've had fruit, fizzy drinks, wine or any other food that contains acid because tooth enamel is softened by the acid and can be worn away by brushing."

After! Mainly because that's what I've always done, but I don't really want breakfast to taste weird anyway, and seems a bit pointless to brush then get them all dirty again... I do try and leave a few minutes in the middle though if I can, and rinse my mouth out beforehand
brushing/mouthwash eliminates bacteria, less bacteria means less binary fission when they had their breakfasts too. Brushing after would mean a lot larger bacterial population.
