Dentists once again answered a question that worries a huge number of people. They told me if I should brush my teeth before breakfast or after.

We are all well aware of the fact that you need to brush your teeth at least twice a day - once in the morning and once in the evening. Evening brushing of teeth does not cause any questions, because everyone understands that the teeth must be thoroughly cleaned immediately before going to bed. But when exactly to brush your teeth in the morning - before or after breakfast? It is well known that during the night a large number of bacteria accumulate in the mouth, as a person breathes nose and compresses his lips. The same bacteria cause a characteristic morning smell from the mouth, so a person has a natural urge to brush his teeth immediately after awakening. However, during breakfast, a lot of food fragments get into the mouth, and it seems quite logical to brush your teeth again. So when should this be done?.

"Indeed, traditionally, we recommend brushing your teeth twice a day," say representatives of the British Dental Association. - And if the second time falls for a while before going to sleep, then the first time can be at all times of the day. It is not necessary that you brush your teeth in the early morning. But if you prefer to brush your teeth in the morning, then it does not matter whether you do it before breakfast or after. However, if you decide to brush your teeth after breakfast, you should wait at least an hour. The fact is that all sorts of acidic foods like fruit and juices have a negative effect on enamel.

And right after breakfast with a toothbrush you will just rub the leftover food into your teeth ".

Dentists also recall that brushing your teeth requires a toothpaste containing fluoride. At the same time, you should spend at least two minutes on this process. It is very important to clean the area between the teeth and gums so that there is no food left that causes caries. Ideally, if your home has an irrigator - a device for washing the mouth with a directed water jet.
