Why do people brush their teeth first thing in the morning? - Lemmy.world

The way I’m used to it is: 1. Wake up 2. Breakfast 3. Brush teeth. Having it as 1, 3, 2 doesn’t make sense for me.

I don’t usually eat breakfast and I try to be vigilant about brushing my teeth, so doing it first thing is pretty natural for me.

I brush before the shower, as usually my wife is in the shower then. She brushes after her shower, when I’m in there. BTW we both do that after breakfast.

Brushing before breakfast can be done against the morning smell, but when you brushed before going to bad, there shouldn’t be anything on or between your teeth.
