Do you brush your teeth before breakfast or after?

And so does brushing after breakfast, with the added bonus of removing the cornflakes between your teeth, surely?

This

I don't understand why you'd brush before?Do you want your breakfast to taste minty? No.
Do you want to have breakfast fulled (braces for me ) teeth for the rest of the day? No.
Brush after, for a brighter day.
Brace yourself

If you've eaten acidic food it can be detrimental to brush straight afterwards as it erodes the weakened enamel. However for meals that are high in sugar and carbohydrates, which applies to a lot of breakfast cereals, brushing straight afterwards actually helps a lot by removing the bacteria that attack the enamel in the first place.

After

Why brush before eating, that kinda makes it redundant

You should always brush 30 minutes after eating, (definitely not before that just kills the purpose). Here’s why:
According to the Mayo Clinic, if you've consumed anything acidic, you should avoid brushing your teeth for at least 30 minutes. Foods containing citric acid, like oranges, grapefruits and lemons, weaken tooth enamel. Brushing too soon after eating them can damage the enamel in its weakened state.

After, to get rid of the food in your teeth and any smell. I don't eat acidic food for breakfast (just cereal/toast and coffee) so there's no harm in brushing right after before I go out. And even if I did, once or twice wouldn't do any harm.

What you should say is that you should not brush until at least 30 minutes has elapsed since eating.
Also it would be good if you could add the source of your quotation next time.

Your own source suggests that 'consequently, it's a good idea to brush before eating an acidic food'.

The link below (as posted by @nexttime) gives an additional reason alongside the one you gave:

Hence, I disagree that brushing before kills the purpose.




The point of brushing teeth is not to get rid of food or smell; although they are useful additions to the brushing experience, you can achieve those things by other means. If you don't brush before, then the plaque bacteria that you haven't removed will produce acid from the point you consume those carbs you mentioned. Hence, you will still have acid in your mouth even if you don't consume something directly acidic.

Also, apart from the fact that this is not once or twice, one thing to remember in life is that it is a lot easier to destroy than to create. The same applies to enamel. I'm not saying that you should stress over it, but you may as well avoid it if you can as opposed to making an invalid excuse.

Anyhow, I’m glad I have prompt your response
