Before or after breakfast? Find out now, when is the right time to brush your teeth

Morning routine is very important for everyone. Waking up and starting your day a certain way can affect your mood throughout the day. As such, the time you choose to brush your teeth can affect more than just your mood, experts say.

Anna Peterson, a dental expert, warned her followers on TikTok that they should brush their teeth before breakfast, not after. Brushing your teeth after breakfast can actually damage them. "Do you know you shouldn't brush your teeth after breakfast? Always before. When you eat breakfast, your mouth becomes acidic.

So what you're doing when you brush your teeth after breakfast is washing the acid directly on your teeth and that destroys the enamel," she explained. While brushing your teeth before breakfast may seem like an unpleasant thing, Peterson says there are more positives.

Brushing your teeth before breakfast protects your teeth from whatever you eat and prevents the destruction of enamel. "Why doesn't anyone tell us this?" asked one user, while another added: "I never learned anything about personal care when I was in school!"
