That way your teeth stay cleaner longer!

I don't eat breakfast either, but I do it after...

Depends if I'm working out that morning or not. If I work out, I don't eat breakfast, so I brush before. If I'm not working out, then I brush after, as I eat right when I get up.

it doesn't make sense to do it after. if you are in bed for more than 8 hours (which you should be anyways) your teeth would have become full of germs by then. by this point you should have to clean your teeth. if you eat before brushing, you are basically scrubbing off these bad germs with your food and taking them into your stomache, and harming yourself. if you are worried that your teath will become dirty again after having breakfast, either rinse your mouth with water, or rinse it with mouthwash, or brush again!

I have OJ at breakfast.
Toothpaste then OJ = bad news.
OJ then toothpaste = not so bad.

I don't eat breakfast.

I brush my teeth before showing (around 2 pm); my first meal of the day isn't until 4-5pm, generally speaking.

After, of course.

 

[Red Dawn]

First thing I do when I get up is make breakfast so it's after for me.

 

[spherrod]

After - no question

 

[Mrvile]

After. And how can swallowing the germs on your teeth harm you??

 

[NissanGurl]

Definitely after, although there are some morning when my mouth feels so grimy that I brush before and after.

UMMM, that doesn't make a lot of sense, or any sense at all. The point to brushing your teeth is to prevent tooth decay, which also prevents gum disease. You should brush your teeth immediately after eating anything.

If it did not make any sense, obviously you did not read my whole post.
