You're fed up with people asking about teeth so he's asking you about your bottom.

Hey it's actually not as clear cut as you might think. There are people that do it the "other way". I just find it funny seeing peoples reactions when they find out that anyone does it any different to themselves. It's up there with "what do you mean Santa isn't real".

After - can't see the point as Jonny69 said in cleaning your teeth only to coat them in sugar straight afterwards!

Unless you don't eat anything sugary in the morning?

You might want to tell the British Dental Health Foundation where they are going wrong then.

Should I brush my teeth after every meal?

It is important that you brush twice a day with a toothpaste containing fluoride. The best times are before breakfast and last thing at night before you go to bed.

Eating and drinking naturally weakens the enamel on your teeth, and brushing straight afterwards can cause tiny particles of enamel to be brushed away. It is best not to brush your teeth until at least one hour after eating.

Always brush before eating as doing it after you've eaten will damage the enamel.

Brush eating, mouthwash after - putting sugar straight on your teeth in the morning is a a bad idea.

Hehe, should have said "before" - somehow missed out a word.
