Rhonda SG Since coming to Melbourne to work, I've noticed an unusual practice - whilst most of us were taught to brush our teeth once we wake up, and definitely before eating our breakfast, most Aussies would eat their breakfasts before brushing their teeth! My b/f and I had a whee time teasing one another recently when I discovered that he ate his breakfast before brushing his teeth whilst I did it the other way round. I told him he was eating all the plague, bacteria poo and bacteria that thrived in his mouth overnight! He told me I was eating my breakfast sans flavour because minty toothpastes tinge everything you eat and drink immediately thereafter with a minty taste so I was literally 'eating and drinking toothpaste'! So, what is your practice? PS. I still think that even if you brush your teeth before you sleep, you'll wake up to yucky, mucky stuff in your mouth which you shouldn't eat! And mind you, most Aussies don't seem to brush their teeth before sleeping anyways!
Rhonda SG OK, my bad! Grammatical error spotted! It should be "WHICH comes first..." not "What..."! Bimbo moment...
honeymouse SG I have my breakfast first before brushing my teeth. I believe one of the reasons of brushing teeth is to keep your teeth clean and healthy so it's better to brush the teeth after eating. That's my personal opinion anyway.
Wanda SG I brushed teeth first before eating bf. I don't want to talk much before brushing my teeth as I don't want to spread the morning breath to hubby and even to the cat...and definitely no kissing before brushing also.
EarlNeo SG Dun make sense to dirty the teeth after u had just done cleaning them. If u think eating prior to brushing teeth, freak u out, can always try rinsing ur teeth the 1st thing in the morning. Which is what i do in the past, cant now, coz I have my breakfast in office these day.
tare SG i brush 1st cos my breakfst is consumed in office... on days i not working, i dun get up for breakfast lah!
elindra SG I brush my teeth first I hate morning breathe MPB brushes his teeth after breakfast because he said since you have to brush your teeth anyway after eating you might as well eat first then brush
