Brushing Your Teeth Before Breakfast Makes No Sense

I know a lot of people, including my friends, who brush their teeth before breakfast—even in movies, it’s always shown as part of a morning routine. But why? You’re literally about to eat and mess up your mouth again. Brushing after breakfast makes way more sense—you start your day with a fresh mouth instead of immediately coating your teeth with food.

The only real reason people brush before breakfast is because it’s what they were taught growing up. But when you think about it, it’s just a habit that makes no practical sense. If the goal is to have a clean mouth, brushing after breakfast is clearly the smarter choice.
