What difference is there when you brush your teeth before and after breakfast?

This is a question the teacher asked in anatomy class. I think it has to do with bacteria, and so the second time you brush, you taste the toothpaste more. I would love to get some input. Thanks.What difference is there when you brush your teeth before and after breakfast?
all ways after food but we got used to doing it early in the morning. Its ok in the mornings but in the nights always after food %26amp; before going to bed.What difference is there when you brush your teeth before and after breakfast?
you know that caries is a multi factorial disease. 2 of the factors are bacteria and time. so the difference is when you brush after breakfast you are removing the bacteria, if you brush before breakfast you are leaving the food reminents on the tooth and it will have longer time to produce the acid which will leed to caries. So brushing after breakfast is better!!!


does that make sense?!
