Best time to brush teeth?

whats morning breath??? it doesnt exist to me now that I have listertine advanced tarter control before I go bed. That stuff is acid in itself. Keeping it in your mouth for 30seconds is hard work.

same here, having braces has upped my oral hygiene for sure. Ill still probably brush after every meal when I have them off just not so religiously.

Like now I dont have dinner, just brekfast and a big tea. Don't eat at work.

i used to have quite bad oral health and my dentist makes me clean my teeth 3 times a day and i chew dental gum during the day too, after about 4 months my teeth have gotten a lot better and a lot whiter in fact they went from by far the worst in my group of friends to nearly the best

Apparently according to the dentist student near me it's ideally before and after - but if you only brush twice a day do it after breakfast because the acids in your food are washed away.

I actually kind of stopped brushing in the mornings, I only brush at night now . If I was seeing people i'd probably brush twice. Interestingly, I have no fillings or other dental work and don't get morning breath

Ouch, thats what you think! Do everyone a favour and at least chew some gum in the morning. Eww

I always brush after breakfast, there's little point brushing before as my first port of call is a cuppa, so that mostly gets rid of 'gunky morning mouth' for a while. Brush after and you make sure you havent got any food left hanging about, and you get nice breath for the day
