It is advised to brush your teeth at least twice a day, but when? Just before bed is a gimme because you’re about to lie mostly still for 6+ hours. Best to not leave food particles to fester.

What’s the best time for an earlier brushing? After breakfast? After lunch? After work/school?

Plus, what’s up with TV and movies having breakfast scenes where they get up and head right out the door? Did they already brush and now they’re going to leave food to fester all day? Eww.

    I remember reading you shouldn’t do it immediately after breakfast due to acids etc increasing the risk of damaging you teeth with the fairly rough brush.
    Something like 40 minutes after breakfast would be ideal. I tend to do it maybe 10-20 minutes after bc i have to get ready 🤷
