Do you brush before or after eating? / myLot

I do Brush my teeth before eating breakfast. i believe it would protect my tooth enamel and overall oral health, compared to brushing after eating. What do you think? Is this the right one?

I would brush after eating to get rid of the food particles and to freshen my breath in case I had something smelly like onions or garlic. I don't like to eat of I have a minty taste in my mouth, so if I brush in the morning, I have to wait a while before I eat breakfast.

You can still brush after eating again.

i also brush before i eat i nthe morning. it's kind of a habit of mine. if something is stuck from food, i floss it or use a mouthwash. and i always use bitter candies for my breathe
