It is advised to brush your teeth at least twice a day, but when? Just before bed is a gimme because you’re about to lie mostly still for 6+ hours. Best to not leave food particles to fester.

What’s the best time for an earlier brushing? After breakfast? After lunch? After work/school?

Plus, what’s up with TV and movies having breakfast scenes where they get up and head right out the door? Did they already brush and now they’re going to leave food to fester all day? Eww.

    I usually do after breakfast and/or before I leave the house (if later in the day). I’ve read advice though to brush first thing in the morning BEFORE breakfast because it will protect your teeth from acids in your food, coffee, etc. I’d love to know if that’s the best way.

      But then you walk around with breakfast breath all day?

      After breakfast and/if going out and then before bed.
