I have braces, so if I don't brush after, I have food stuck in my mouth and my breath smells like Lucky Charms.

lmao at least lucky charms smell good!
I seriously want some now, though. THANKS A LOT!!!

You consider yourself weird because you enjoy brushing your teeth? What are you doing when you "brush your teeth?"

[Noitidart]

Oh my god this is like theeee question that always bothers me. I always did it before and always will because i mean yeah that bacteria issue. And you're breath smells worse after you wake up then after a meal sooo uhm right when i wake up i brush. But then sometimes if i have time i brush after breakfast too with Plax mouth wash especially if its eggs eww but eggs are reallly good for you!

Daang that's insane dont brush too much its not good for the enamel on you're teeth.

I need some pure Oatmeal first thing in the morning, its diesel for my weasel, fuel for my mule, gas for my as-- I was saying, basically its the only thing that really gives me a constant energy, anything else is like a big short Turbo charge followed by long lag till Lunch.

Man i eat plain oatmeal too!! With dates though cuz i workout and they say dates are real good for that stuff.

Its weird because not everyone brushes their teeth at least once an hour like me...i also take like 4 showers a day...I may be weird but at least Im clean!

I brush before cause I usually eat on the war to work/school. I have altoids so I smell good.

I think most people only floss just before the dentist. I used to be like that.

Shoot I don't even do that. XD

I do mouthwash like crazy before a dentist appointment though.

[sasquatch]

I never use mouthwash. Actually i did once...I got my tongue pierced and for like 6 weeks you have to use it every time you eat, drink or smoke something. Well you dont HAVE to but if you dont want an infection you will

[Neo]

Yeah. I don't know anyone who doesn't clean their teeth more than they normally would when they have a dentist appointment, its pretty standard thing to do xD

[Rikku]

hmmmm outhwash or infection... that's a tough choice... is your tongue still pierced??? always though that that would feel really wierd.. so i never did it..

i don;t usually use mouth wash eather.. i have a full bottle just standing on the counter..... dont even know why it's there anymore

Yea it has been for about 5 years now. At first it feels weird because there is something there that never was but now if i take it out thats when it feels weird

Hey I've got that same bottle in my bathroom lol

[Tetiel]

Oh always after. The problem is if you do it before you will have that food in your mouth from breakfast until when you brush your teeth next which will probably be at night. It's just better for your teeth if you do it after to just protect from the bacteria feeding on the sugars and fiber from your breakfast. The thing is it's not the bacteria feeding on your teeth which is the problem as they really don't do that. They feed on the food on your teeth and then their waste causes cavities as it burns away at them. (Same effect comes from stomach acid)

[cx323]

i always brush before, i hate how the food tastes if i brush before i eat

Riiiigggghhhhttttt...

[Neo]

Gawd this topic has brain washed me, I've randomly brushed my teeth when I've been bored.... five times so far and all because of this talk of toothpaste mouthwash floss bacteria, its made me somewhat paranoid, and yet I have only eaten twice today and Neo likes food

[Stryyp]

I always brush after. I figure you swallow the bacteria anyway, and brushing before makes your breakfast taste funky, then you have breakfast on your teeth.

Dont ever drink orange juice before or after brushing your teeth. I did that once....never again

do i even want to know why?? cause i'm really tempted to go try it now that u mentioned it

[sasquatch]

Go ahead...it just tastes really nasty...mint and orange juice just do not mix well

[Neo]

do i even want to know why?? cause i'm really tempted to go try it now that u mentioned it

I'm suprised you haven't experienced it before ....Well I wouldn't try it at any rate, it tastes very unpleasent and leaves such a horrible after taste. You could put a few mint sprigs in a carton so the whole family can experience it

[Rikku]

no. i'd rather not... i was just curious as to what would heappen....

curiosity killed the cat......
