The way I’m used to it is: 1. Wake up 2. Breakfast 3. Brush teeth.
Having it as 1, 3, 2 doesn’t make sense for me.
Because that is better for your teeth. Talk to your dentist about it. https://www.healthline.com/health/should-you-brush-your-teeth-before-or-after-breakfast
This website is wack:
"We detect that you are in one of the member countries of the UK/EU/EEA, which is now subject to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Unfortunately, a tracking-free version of our full website is currently unavailable in these countries. We are engaged on the issue and committed to looking at options that support our full range of digital offerings to this market
While we continue to identify technical compliance solutions that will allow all readers to experience our content, we are providing you with 10 articles that highlight the breadth and quality of our content.

I wasn’t expecting the website to outright refuse me from accessing it after refusing to be tracked, and with such bullshit lingo too
Not sure about this particular site, but in my experience with sites that don’t have full time web developers on staff and only get a small percentage of their traffic from the UK/EU/EEA, complying is simply cost prohibitive since it will require a significant development budget without much payback, so by law, they are forced to block access to their site in affected countries.
How does it take too much work to just not spy on people? Or at least not spy on people in the EU, which the site already can detect so it shouldn’t be a problem. In fact, it would probably be less work than making the site not work for such people.
I talked to my dentist about this, actually.
His conclusion was: preferably brush after breakfast, yes it’s ideal to wait For 30-60 mins but that rarely happens so just do it when you can after it’s not that big a deal
I’m summarizing, of course. But that was the gist of it
The article doesn’t back up your statement.
What it does say is that:
- brushing teeth regularly is important
- brushing teeth when enamel is weakened by acidity is destructive
- breakfasts foods tend to be acidic (well, acidity raises after a meal in general)
And with this it reaches the conclusion that brushing your teeth before breakfast is safer than brushing right afterwards, and is more likely to become a routine than if you wait 30-60 minutes after your first meal. It even ends up with:
Brushing in the morning, whenever you’re able to do it, is still better than skipping brushing your teeth at all.
And if you’re from a country where visiting a dentist is affordable, you have probably heard an additional advice - visit a dentist for a checkup and a professional cleaning at least twice a year.

This is what my point is. What are you arguing?
For me it’s because my mouth tastes terrible and I want that gone asap
I hate the taste of coffee with toothpaste residue in my mouth, so I never brush before breakfast.
I use Therabreath toothpaste. It doesn’t have that crap mint taste and doesn’t have the chemicals that makes food (especially orange juice) taste like crap. Also it really works to keep your breath nice without that fake disgusting flavor.
Edit: there is a mint flair but it’s really undertoned
Note. I just use it and like it. No financial incentive.
Maybe, but I’d have to wait foe breakfast and I want the taste out of my mouth immediately
Do you wash your teeth before going to bed? Not to be rude, just wondering cause I have never woke up with bad breath
I don’t eat breakfast.
I’m in (hopefully the same boat) with toothbrushing for breakfast. If I eat in the morning I feel terrible.
Healthier on the enamel, tho I don’t do it (and most of the reason you brush is to get off the built up stuff from overnight, not clean off breakfast)
If you smell your breath first thing in the morning it stinks. This is a sign of bacterial overgrowth. During the day, the biggest barrier to this is natural saliva production and agitation through movement of the mouth. These things are drastically reduced while you sleep and thus leads to a build up of bacteria. This is why it is advised that you brush your teeth after waking.
Technically, it is also advised that you brush your teeth after each meal but that is not practical for most.
