Poll: The really important question, do you brish your teeth BEFORE or AFTER breakfast?

[Feef]

Neither, being as I don't eat breakfast. "whenever I remember" would probably be the closest option.

Importantly if you brush after breakfast you should wait 30mins or you will damage the enamel on your teeth.

Doesnt matter too much to me, I generally do it before. Brushing your teeth in the morning is more about removing the bacteria and mess that's lingered in your mouth for the night.

I also brush my teeth at night, and chew Orbit through the day.

after... going to work with bits of bran flakes in my teeth isnt really appealing

 

[Saundie]

I brush my teeth before breakfast, but I use mouthwash just before I leave for work to remove any lingering cereal, and to give me invigoratingly minty fresh breath.

This poll isn't fair, what happens to the group who brush before and after?

 

[physichull]

Definately after, whats the point of doing them before only to muck them up a mere matter of minutes later. Anyone who does them before is just weird (not in my opinion, but in FACT!).

 

[Zefan]

I eat my breakfast on the way to work (military - did I mention I'm amazing?) so before.

After.. What's the point in brushing them before.

This. There's no purpose to cleaning them before you eat.

 

[Wizzfizz]

Before, because that's normal. Brushing after you've eaten whilst the enamel is softer, is bad.

I also chew a piece of gum for 20 mins after I've eaten, this helps with reducing plaque/acids and any lodged food.

I brish my teeth before and after breakfast.

 

[WAGates]

Always after.

 

[Andr3w]

After mostly.

 

[Nexus]

After Breakfast usually.

But if I have Breakfast at work, then obviously not.

 

[fishboyuk]

I brush them about an hour after lunch (around 4?) and before I go to sleep usually at around 2am.

I don't wake up till 11 usually because i'm a lazy bum.

Edit actually that's not quite accurate. I have a sports injury and am laid up in bed most of the time so it's not all roses.

It did coincide nicely with the release of D3 though.......

 

[imb4tman]

Before. Brushing soon after eating isn't very good for your teeth. At least that is what my dentist tells me.

 

[antijoke]

I brish after breakfast.

 

[Jay794]

Technically After, but I don't brush my teeth until just before I go to bed
