One of the most common dental questions: Should you brush before or after breakfast? 🪥☀️ Many dental professionals recommend brushing before breakfast to help remove overnight bacteria and protect enamel before exposure to acidic foods and drinks like coffee, juice, or citrus fruits.

👍 If you prefer brushing after breakfast, waiting about 30 minutes can help protect enamel while your mouth naturally rebalances after eating.

I was wondering if I should be brushing my teeth before or after breakfast. Steven S. Toth, DMD, explains that there actually is an optimal order.

Water flosser or traditional floss… which is better? 🦷

The good news is that both can play an important role in a healthy oral hygiene routine. Traditional floss helps physically remove plaque between teeth, while water flossers can be especially helpful for patients with braces, dental implants, sensitive gums, or difficulty using string floss.

🔑🪥 The most important part is consistency.

Waterpik and flossing both reach plaque-brushing misses. Waterpiks can benefit people with braces or arthritis, but floss offers traditional thoroughness.
