YOU should brush your teeth BEFORE you eat!!!

you should brush BEFORE you eat.
not AFTER.Well, my friends & i looked up the myth about brushing after you eat... especially in the morning right when you wake up:Should you brush your teeth before breakfast or after breakfast?You would think that brushing right after breakfast would be good b/c you're brushing away all the bacteria that you've accumulated in your mouth from the food, but if you think about it, acid accumulates in your mouth after you eat to break down the food particles. And the acid softens your enamel, making it weak. Thus, if you brush right after you eat when your enamel is soft, you'd be brushing against (and tearing away) your soft enamel... which would ultimately weaken your tooth/teeth.However, brushing BEFORE you eat would strengthen your teeth with fluoride so that the after-meal-acid effects won't be as harmful to your enamel and teeth.Thus, you should brush BEFORE you eat! :)
