I used to brush before I had breakfast but now that I have my braces in, its easier for food to get caught so I wait til I'm finished eating.

Before.

I brush before. I hate the feeling of un-brushed teeth.
It just makes me feel really ew and I won't even like open my mouth until after brushing my teeth

After, because it's kinda pointless for me to eat my breakfast with a minty taste in my mouth and get my teeth dirty again.

I never could understand the reasoning behind brushing before you ate, 'cause your teeth would just get dirty again.
But if I hated the feeling of unbrushed teeth enough (I'm getting to the point of hating it), I'd brush before and after.

After

Cas you brush your teeth to clean them before like you go to school and you dont want bits of toast still hanging around do ya!!

i brush before :]

Eating after brushing makes oj taste weird, but the thought of swallowing all that gunk. Blech.

Yeah, I brush after too.

i brush before i eat.

Getting your teeth dirty doesn’t mean anything. When you brush your teeth, you're also removing the good bacteria and nutrients for your teeth and gums.

After you brush your teeth, you will still be left with bad bacteria that will multiple anyways.

whether you brush before or after, your teeth will always be dirty.

i go after, because breakfast might make my breath smell
&also brushing teeth before messes up your taste buds.
ex. when you drink orange juice.

I brush after because if i do it before all my food taste funny then
especially drinks

I don't like the feeling of syrup in my teeth.
So I do it afterwards.

before. i dont know. when i dont brush my teeth i get this weird feeling in my mouth.

I do both. I like having minty fresh breath, and food tastes funny if I don't brush my teeth before.

I do both. We have a genetic history of bad teeth, to but it in elementary terms. I'm a major coffee drinker as well, so I usually rebrush (lightly) around 10:30-11:00AM or so.

I brush after breakfast, I hate minty-food taste.

Before. I hate eating with my gross morning breath. And I hate mint, so I can't wait to get that taste out of my mouth.

God, somebody tell the toothpaste makers to make one that isn't minty and yet doesn't taste like turd.

Same here. Except, I feel like I should get into the habit of brushing after I eat too. Extra clean/freshness!

I feel the same way yuckk >_>

I'll brush after too..

Always taught to brush before eatings but I always find it pointless so I do it after now.
EXCEPT when I'm going somewhere before I get to eat, so I have to brush before breakfast. (ie: Going to a breakfast resturant or work, school etc)

Before and after because I forget that I have time to eat breakfast now. I usually brush and go to work, but now I can eat breakfast so I end up brushing twice.

Afterrr :3
Until they actually make mint Coco Pops, i don't fancy trying it

my mom says i should do it before, but it makes no sense, so
i mostly do it after

Here's my professional advice, which I am qualified to give as a licensed dentist:

Brushing after breakfast is the right thing to do. Those who do not brush after breakfast are giving the plaque and food debris stuck on their teeth an entire uninterrupted morning to rot away at their enamel.
The morning breath bacteria are not harmful when swallowed. Your stomach has very strong concentrations of hydrochloric acid, and the germs in your oral cavity cannot survive in that environment.
If you don't like that morning breath gross taste, rinse with mouthwash right after waking up. Eat your breakfast, then brush your teeth to protect them for the rest of the morning.
Those who advocate brushing before breakfast then just rinsing afterwards have it bass-ackwards.

Hope this helps.

When I do eat breakfast than after because i got used to having to do this while having braces. But most of the time I don't eat breakfast so I'll brush my teeth once I wake up.

Well, I don't eat breakfast as soon as I wake up. So, I brush once as soon as I wake up. Then take a shower, shave, eat, get dressed, then brush again.

I'll brush before, and if there's a funny after taste or something, I'll brush afterwards too.
