Do you brush your teeth before or after breakfast? According to the expert, brushing before breakfast is important.
"Brushing teeth before breakfast not only helps remove plaque buildup but also stimulates saliva production. Saliva helps kill bacteria in your mouth," explains Dr. Sam Jethwa, Vice President of the British Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry.

"If you brush your teeth right after breakfast, it can cause damage," he says.
