Its recommended to brush your teeth before\after the three major meals- there no big difference . I think it's a matter of point of view and habits (which will be to difficult to change now). I prefer to brush my teeth first thing in the morning.

By doing the first brushing after breakfast you remove food matter so that your mouth is clean until your next meal. Nothing like "killing two birds with one stone."

It is said that you should brush your teeth after each meal. It not only removes the food particles but also does not allow the plaques to set on your teeth.

I think is better to brush you teeth before the breakfast. It is better to clean your teeth and mouth before eating any thing. Also read stains on teeth .

Hi,

As I also asked this question to mine dentist before few months,"She said me that,brushing teeth before breakfast is better.You can use mouth washer after your breakfast for whole day good breathing.This is really effective advice for Teeth Whitening ."

May be this advice will helpful to you.

 

I would think that brushing your teeth after breakfast (and every meal) would make good sense. You would want to remove any residual food particles from your teeth. The other point is that if you utilize any  at home whitening products, removing any coffee or tea stains from your teeth would only help to keep your teeth as white as possible.

 

The correct thing suggested by most of the dentist are to brush your teeth before you take the breakfast. Although many people have the tendency to brush their teeth after breakfast. Also the ideal one to brush teeth is three times a day but for me two time is enough.
