Everyone has a MORNING ROUTINE, one we usually don’t even think about. And sometimes, our routine may become so – for lack of a better word – routine – that we don’t realize it may not be as effective as it could be. One example of this is when you brush your teeth, particularly whether you brush your teeth before or after breakfast.
But believe it or not, there really isn’t one answer to this question. In fact, dentists are torn, with pros and cons on both sides of the argument. To figure out the answer, it's best to know what's best for you personally and to educate yourself on both sides of the argument to determine when to brush. (1)
But as we dive into when the best time to brush is, we’re also going to take a look at a FLUORIDE-FREE and ALCOHOL-FREE ORAL CARE ROUTINE you can trust each and every day, regardless of the time you end up choosing to brush your teeth.
In this blog we talk about whether you should brush your teeth before or after breakfast, and the best way to achieve a BRIGHTER SMILE and STRONGER ORAL HEALTH today!
Many people recognize the importance of brushing and the importance of breakfast, but they don’t always look at the correlation between the two. In reality, one plays heavily upon the other, with many factors determining when you should be brushing.
Basically, it all comes down to what you’re eating. For example, cereals and breakfasts high in sugars and carbs (which can be detrimental to your oral health) warrant an after-breakfast brushing, which would help clean all that leftover gunk out of your mouth. However, consuming anything too acidic and then brushing can already weaken your weakened enamel. (2)
In fact, if your morning routine warrants it and you prefer to brush after you eat, it’s actually recommended that you wait 30-60 minutes. This can be difficult if on the go, which means you’re going to want an ALL-NATURAL ORAL CARE TRIO that you can easily take with you! (3)
Surprisingly, there is a lot of evidence that points to the effectiveness of brushing before you eat. This is because it’s essential you brush your teeth at least every twelve hours, which is how often you need to be taking the plaque off your teeth. (5)

Waiting to brush after you eat means just spreading more of that acid and bacteria onto your teeth. Your teeth will then suffer from more of this biolfilm and plaque, which can cause you more dental problems you might not be thinking about at the moment. (5)
Another factor to consider is saliva. While sleeping you produce less saliva, which means more bacteria. Brushing before breakfast can help keep additional things like doughnuts and coffee from feeding what’s already on your teeth and deteriorating your enamel further. (6)
Though this is an important debate, it’s important to remember the point of brushing your teeth in the first place, which is to CLEAN and PROTECT your teeth. This means you may want to consider brushing your teeth before AND after breakfast, though you need to be gentle to not over-brush.
The frequency you brush your teeth also has to do with your history and your own individual needs, which are different for everybody. However, with gentle brushing and a CONSISTENT ORAL CARE ROUTINE, you can stop cavities, impaction, and gum problems over time. (7)

Healthy brushing habits can also protect your teeth from what you’re about to eat, which is another reason for why it may be better to brush before eating. This will help keep some of the potentially dangerous acid from deteriorating your teeth over time. (8)
One thing to consider when deciding whether to brush before or after breakfast is morning breath. This is because morning breath is actually an example of why it may be better to brush before breakfast. This is because morning breath equates to bacteria, and more sugars and carbs only make your mouth dirtier.
Brushing after breakfast can be effective (as long as you wait the necessary time) because then your teeth will actually be strengthened by your brush. This remineralization from waiting, combined with the right ALL-NATURAL ORAL CARE ROUTINE, will help PROTECT and BOOST your oral health immediately. (10)
Eating the right foods at breakfast can make your decision less important, but the most important thing is that you follow breakfast with ALL-NATURAL MOUTHWASH! Be sure your mouthwash is ALCOHOL-FREE, regardless of when you choose to brush. (11)
