I think I have already answered to a similar question here. I brush my teeth before breakfast because I think that we didn't clean our mouth when we were sleepign so we need to clean it as soon as we wake up. My husband brushes after having breakfast because he thinkgs that there will be remains from the food in the mouth after breakfast. So, he has to brush to take it out.

i brush my teeth after breakfast in order to smell fresh and take away remaining food particles and more important, for personal hygiene (what an odorful mouth would it be without it). i feel i don't need to brush my teeth before breakfast as i ate nothing while asleep and i had brushed my teeth the night before. what i do before breakfast is to drink a glass of water. this makes my feeling full and i don't eat a lot when i take my meal. also, a glass of water before breakfast cleanses my system.

I always brush first thing in the morning. I hate bad breath and to me that is not the way to start off a morning. I also do not eat breakfast at home during the weekdays, but on weekends I do and on those days I will brush again. I figure a little extra care doesn't hurt! Have a great day!

I brush my teeth after having my tea and breakfast in the morning because if I brush teeth before having tea and breakfast, then there may be some particles stuck in my teeth and also the teeth look little yellow so I prefer to brush my teeth after tea and breakfast and also I brush in the night before going to sleep.

It is a good practice to brush our teeth after breakfast and after every meal. But no, I don't brush after breakfast. It is after I wake I brush my teeth and scrap my tongue. Then I take my shower.

I brush my teeth immediately when I wake up, to get rid of the germs so that they do not get transferred to the food that I am eating. A lot of people however do brush their teeth after eating their breakfast.

Yeah, it also feels better when you eat with a clean mouth.

Interesting. I usually drink a cup of water to rinse out the germs and the smell. Then I eat my breakfast, and then I'll brush my teeth to get rid of the pieces of food stuck in my teeth.

It's really a funny question that i never consider before. Generally i will brush first before breakfast, because when i wake up, i will feel a little dirty. I only can eat something when i feel comfortable and clean.
