Brushing your teeth before or after breakfast: which is better? 🍞☕🦷
Every morning you may wonder whether it is better to brush your teeth before or after breakfast . Some people prefer to remove bacteria that accumulated overnight , while others want to get rid of food residue after eating .
So, what's the best habit to protect your enamel and keep your smile sparkling? We'll explain everything!
1. Brushing your teeth before or after breakfast: the dilemma 🤔
🛏️ Brushing your teeth before breakfast helps to:
✅ Eliminate bacterial plaque accumulated overnight
✅ Protect enamel against breakfast acids
✅ Prepare teeth to better resist stains and bacteria
🥐 Brushing your teeth after breakfast helps to:
✅ Directly eliminate food residues and sugar
✅ Have fresh breath after eating
✅ Feel cleaner and awake
📌 Problem: Brushing after an acidic meal (coffee, orange juice) can weaken the enamel!
2. Why do dentists recommend brushing before breakfast? 🦷
✅ During the night, saliva production decreases , which allows bacteria to proliferate and form plaque on the teeth.
✅ Brushing BEFORE breakfast eliminates these bacteria and protects the enamel against acid attacks from the meal.
✅ If you eat acidic foods , your enamel is temporarily weakened and immediate brushing may damage it.
📌 The best strategy? Brush your teeth before and rinse your mouth after eating!
3. Which breakfast foods weaken enamel? 🚨
❌ Orange juice and citrus fruits → Very acidic, they soften the enamel.
❌ Coffee and black tea → Contain tannins that stain teeth.
❌ Pastries and sugary cereals → Feed bacteria and promote cavities.
📌 If you eat these foods, wait 30 minutes before brushing your teeth!
