I don't know which one works for you. For me, I like it better if I brush my teeth after I eat my breakfast. I don't want other people to know what I ate for breakfast when I go out. LOL! So, do you brush your teeth first thing in the morning then you eat breakfast? Or you eat your breakfast first before brushing your teeth?

Yeah! Leftover food on the teeth is a major turn off when you go outside. _

well, i can`t eat if i`m not brushing my teeth before. Sometimes i brush my teeth after my breakfast too, but sometimes not. When i`m not brushing my teeth, i`m having a gum and i`ll brush my teeth after the next meal.

I sometimes do that. I chew minty bubblegums in replaced of brushing. But only after lunch. I always brush my teeth before going out of the house. Thanks for sharing! ^_^

I am the same way as you. I brush after i eat my breakfast because otherwise your food tastes like your toothpaste or it just tastes bad. especially orange juice. blech!

I'm usually in a hurry in the morning - i have to leave my house at 7:15 to reach my uty at 8:50, so i hardly have time to even eat my breakfast. But i do wash my mouth everytime i do have something to eat. I cant even drink my tea (or talk even) without brushing my teeth in the morning though. Its the first thing i do when i get out of bed... Happy mylotting Naomi.

Hi there!! I prefer brushing my teeth before by breakfast.Actually I'll do my brushing as soon as I wake up in the morning.I cannot stay with the same mouth even for 5 minutes.I feel that I should start the day with a fresh and germ free mouth.If we eat without brushing,then all the germs get accumulated in your tooth then,when you eat with the same mouth in the morning,all the germs will go in to your mouth and it will definitely effect your digestive system. Thats what I feel... We cannot change others habits and feelings. Happy mylotting!! Keep smiling!!

I agree that we really can't change others' habits. I tried brushing my teeth before i eat once, the food somehow tasted minty. _

when i take a bath in the morning i also brush my teeth. then i eat breakfast. i like the feeling of being clean before having breakfast. its like im ready for the day. i dont have to go back upstairs to fix myself. thats usually my routine everyday.. bathe and brush teeth first before breakfast.
