When you brush your teeth at night, will you still go to eat something after it?

Most of the time after brushing my teeth, I won't eat anything. I think it's good for the teeth.
However, sometimes there are also some exceptions. I suddenly feel like drinking juice and eating some snacks. At that time sometimes I don't want to brush my teeth after that. Anyway, it's only one night and it's not a big deal. I have to say sometimes I am very lazy:)

I am like you! Most of the time, I would eat or drink anything (except water) after brushing my teeth. But sometimes, I do feel like drinking something after brushing my teeth and of course usually afterwards I would be too lazy to brush my teeth again!

Hello!
Hmmm... Usually, I wash my teeth at night right before going to bed. It's like brushing and going to bed. Not that I don't brush in the other parts of the day. Yes, I do, when I wake up and after lunch. However, I'm talking about the night part.
But, when I brush them too early in the evening, yes, I feel like eating something... Sometimes I just don't, I think that my teeth are more important. But come on, there are times when you open the fridge and get something to eat! I have to confess that, after I have brushed my teeth, sometimes I do eat... And I do not brush them again. Perhaps I am just lazy. Perhaps I should change my way of thinking. But what is important is that I have never got into serious problems because of this.
Respectfully,
Munhozmib.

well like you i get too lazy to brush again my teeth after eating at night. so to avoid this i really do not eat after i have already brush my teeth. but recently since i am under treatment of swollen gums, if i eat something after i brush my teeth at night, i discipline myself to brush my teeth again after eating.

Not at all, by the time I choose to brush my teeth at night, it means no more eating-the only thing I may find myself "eating" is the teeth and lips of my wife LOL

before i brush my teeth at night i see to it that i am fully satisfied and have no feeling to have any further refreshments. The purpose of brushing at night is to see that the germs do not get that whole night to develop a place for themselves in our mouth. Thats the reason why we should not eat anything after bushing and i practice this too.

Really? Here the toothpaste isn't very expensive and it can use for a long time anyway:) Most of all, it's very cheap compare to go to see a dentist. I had my tooth fixed some time ago and it cost me so much. I joked that it is enough even if this tooth was pulled out and have a gold tooth:)

No I will not, if I bursh my teeth it means I am not gonna eat anything or drink something. Only the water. Yeah sometimes it happen to me when I forget abotu it and start to eat and then realize I alredy brush my teeth. But no big deal i would go bursh them again or just use a listerine. Yeah you are right, after brushing you teeth we should eat anything, I hear only a little bit of juice can be harmfull.

Usually I don't eat after I brush my teeth. That's great because sometimes after lunch I have this need to eat sweet stuff so when I brush my teeth immediately after lunch that need disappears. And in the evening if I eat after i brush my teeth, although that happens rarely I go and brush it again in 99% of the cases.

I think once you brush your teeth in the night and then go for eating ,the whole purpose of brushing goes in vain.infact i have commited the blunder of eating after brushing.let me tell you once you do that you really dont get the taste of what you are eating.also the problem is now again you will have to bruch otherwise your teeht might get damaged soon.so i think its advisable not to go for eating once you have brushed your teeth in the night.even i get lazy at times and break the rules,but again that causes problems to me and my teeth.

Normally after brushing my teeth I won’t be taking any food as I feel that brushing the teeth again is really troublesome. Anyhow if somebody were to buy back my favorite food, I definitely couldn’t help taking it straight away without bothering the business of brushing teeth later on. Of course I will brush my teeth again after taking the food.

I brush my teeth every night before i go to bed.And I don't eat and drink anything after that.I feel it not comfortable to eat or drink before sleeping.It's neither good for health.

there are most times that i will brush my teeth as well and get the sudden urge for juice or a snack.and most of the time i will just grab it and put it in my mouth it is then that i realize and remember that i just brushed my teeth due to the nasty taste in my mouth. When i do this and it happens at night time i will just quickly throw in some mouth wash and call it good for the night. Hey i cleaned them didnt i?? LOL i am too very lazy before bed!
