The concept of time

See this is what puzzles me. When I was growing up we
always brushed teeth first thing in the morning before
breakfast. Now here in the US I hear "brush after
breakfast and before bedtime". I personally can't eat or
drink anything before I brush my teeth. May be it's a
cultural thing to eat before or after brushing?


I cant stand the taste of many foods and water before I
brush in the morning. I just know that mint tooth paste
followed by OJ isnt that great tasting either.. I think it
is a personal preferance thing.

i think "I just know that mint tooth paste
followed by OJ isnt that great tasting either" is possibly
the biggest understatement ever

suggestion for the brush-before-breakfast crowd: just use
water & be sure to brush your tongue. then go & actually brush
& floss after breakfast. the whole point of 'brush in the
morning' is to get food particles off your teeth from
breakfast, not to "freshen your breath" (which would be way
fresher without decaying food in your mouth anyway).
lee or brush twice. toothpaste isn't that expensive

I only feel fresh if I use toothpaste.
