Everyone knows that you need to brush your teeth in the morning and in the evening. This is correct and not even discussed.
Only occasionally and only experts can start a debate on the topic of when exactly you need to brush your teeth in the morning – before breakfast or after.
Let's try to find the answer to this question.
If everything is clear in the evening – you need to brush your teeth after eating, then in the morning everything is not so clear.
As it turned out, the first to think about this question were US dentists – employees of the University of North Carolina.
As always, the researchers were unable to come to a consensus. There are pros and cons in each case.
We clean before breakfast
The reason is that the foods eaten for breakfast contain, in most cases, sweet carbohydrates.
These are cereals, bread, pancakes and other products. The remains of this food are of particular interest to bacteria.
If you don't brush your teeth before breakfast, this environment will benefit the bacteria, of which a lot already accumulates in the oral cavity overnight.
All this affects the condition of tooth enamel and causes caries.
Brushing your teeth can help remove bacteria and stimulate saliva production, which can benefit your teeth.
It also happens that after breakfast many people forget or do not have time to brush their teeth.
Cleaning after breakfast
The argument in favor of this is that the fluoride contained in toothpaste is more beneficial if you do not eat anything after brushing your teeth.
