You can also floss and get food out of your teeth as well. Brushing your teeth before your breakfast is really just for removing bad breath. I lf you want to do that, swish with alcohol free mouth wash as the alcohol can make dry mouth and bad breath worse.

And trust me, EVERYTHING leaves stuff behind inside of your mouth, so it&#39;s good to always brush your teeth after or at least rinse out your mouth after eating anything or even drinking anything that isn&#39;t water, especially acidic or sugary drinks.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Ronald E.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Aaaa!!!

It&#39;s most effective to brush your teeth after you have eaten.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Aileen P.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I brush my teeth before I eat in the morning and after I\u2019ve eaten, before bed, in the evening.

Right now, I have Invisalign which means I have to brush after every meal or snack, so lately I\u2019ve been eating first and then brushing.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Mattia N.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Always after, more specifically about 20 minutes after I\u2019m done eating. This way your mouth stays clean longer, until your next meal, as opposed to brushing your teeth right before consuming a meal. I also use an alcohol-free mouthwash (after brushing) after breakfast and floss (before brushing) after dinner.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Ms F.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I usually brush my teeth after I eat. I do this because I hate the feeling of having food stuck in your mouth for hours. Usually, because I have been starting fasting, I brush my teeth after my late breakfast and also I brush my teeth as soon as I wake up because I can\u2019t brush my teeth for several hours I get rid of my gross morning breath and brush my teeth. So I guess I really brush my teeth 3x a day.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Fred J.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Since i was a kid I\u2019ve always brushed by teeth after eating, not before. I had quite a few teeth problem when i was in primary school, even though I was always eating super healthy. We didn\u2019t even get juice unless it was a special occasion! Brushing teeth after a meal makes more sense to me because after all, you want to get all the grit out from what\u2019s you just ate. I do understand though why people would brush their teeth before eating because that feeling and taste you get in your mouth when you wake up is gross. I\u2019m actually very very enthusiastic about brushing teeth, and sometimes do it more than three times a day, just because it feels right. Probably not the healthiest but it really clears my mind.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Emilie N.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I usually brush after i ear breakfast.
