When to brush your teeth: before or after breakfast
Everyone knows that teeth should be brushed at least twice a day: in the morning and in the evening. But many argue about when exactly in the morning this procedure should be carried out.
The thing is that some people are sure that it is best to brush your teeth after breakfast, while others are used to doing it before the morning meal. But what is the right way?
Dentists recommend brushing your teeth after waking up.
Still, bacteria that can accumulate in the mouth during sleep risk getting into the stomach and esophagus with food.
Therefore, it is better to brush your teeth first and then start breakfast.
In addition, this rule should also be followed by those who complain of tooth sensitivity.
As experts note, regular brushing immediately after breakfast can increase sensitivity. Therefore, it is worth changing your habits a little.
If you didn’t have time to brush your teeth before your first meal, then you shouldn’t rush and do it right after.
It is important to wait at least half an hour, otherwise you can only soften the tooth enamel, especially if you had drinks with a high level of acid for breakfast (tea with lemon, orange juice, etc.).
