A female friend often argues that it is better and healthier to brush our teeth anytime after eating for the day. I find this very disgusting as my belief is that brushing of teeth should be among the first things done in the morning prior to tasting any food. Please do we have contrary views or further enlightenment in the house?

So she will first eat with dirty mouth when she wakes up, before she will go and brush?

No. It means she will brush as the last thing before going to bed and in the morning there won't be a need to brush before eating her breakfast.

There is nothing like dirty mouth, the early morning saliva is medicinal when swallowed. Its helps in curing/preventing ulcer. i.e it is an antibiotic.

I make it a habit to brush before going to bed at night. It reduces chances of plaque and decay doing damage to my teeth overnight.

If you're to brush only once daily, it's best to brush last thing at night. If you must brush in the morning, make sure you brush at night too.

I've also noticed that too many people don't even know how to brush their teeth properly sef. Lol. People should at least google and watch YouTube videos on proper brushing techniques as recommended by dentists.

Please let's have more opinions.

I can't even imagine eating in the morning with a soured mouth. It feels awful and disgusting.

Everything is all about mindset. I reason with d person who said brush after eating!

To sustain fresher breath all day, I think brushing must be done before and possibly after eating.

Everybody to their way.
