Poll of the Day > in the morning, do you brush your teeth before or after breakfast/coffee?

(+) Yeah! (+)

i've always done before, but i'm starting to lean towards after, ok?
---

Before breakfast. Usually when I wake up. And I usually have breakfast a little while afterward. As long as my breath doesnt still smell toothpaste. And as long as everything I put in my mouth doesnt taste like toothpaste. I believe you are suppose to brush before because brushing after can like weaken the teeth or something. But I usually dont normally drink coffee, so I usually dont have to worry about that.

Yes. Depending on my mood, and whether I have somewhere to go early. Makeup usually goes on after coffee, when I'm ready to leave, so I don't leave a lot of lipstick on my coffee cup.
---

After breakfast. I hardly ever have anything acidic like orange juice or coffee so I dont have to wait until the acid is gone, since its horrible for your enamel to brush after drinking or eating acidic food.

Breakfast is usually eggs, oatmeal, and/or fruit.

Brushing your teeth is a scam perpetuated by the bristle industry

Most foods clean your teeth better than any brush

Before. It's basically part of my morning routine. I tend to have breakfast at the office during a short break (if at all) or I just skip. More often than not, I go for coffee immediately upon arriving at work.
---

I like to drink my coffee on the way to work so brushing always comes before. And like linkpizza said, I know there are a lot of things you ingest where you arent supposed to brush soon after

I brush my teeth at night before bed

And I don't drink coffee

I didn't eat breakfast. I typically don't. I went ahead and chose the first answer though since I had them brushed within the first 20 minutes or so after getting out of bed.
---

After breakfast, before coffee because I don't have that until I am at work.

I brush my teeth before bed.

People brush their teeth before eating / drinking?

But doesnt that make everything taste weird? Or maybe my toothpaste and mouthwash are just too strong.

I gotta do that after I eat so I can go into work nice and fresh.

If you rinse your mouth out well and dont eat or drink immediately after it shouldnt be an issue

Yep. Thats why I brush my teeth pretty early when waking up. Then wait a little before eating breakfast...

G) My teeth brushing times are after Noon and around 3 in the morning.

Just rinse it out. It's useless to do it before since you brush your teeth to clean them which is counterproductive if you eat after brushing them.
---

After. I usually rinse with water right after drinking tea/coffee though, as I've read it stains your teeth to brush right after.
---

After always. If I brush my teeth I won't eat anything for at least 30 mins to an hour so it has to be before.
