According to a dentist, people frequently clean their teeth in the morning, which may be contributing to the yellowing of teeth. 

Doctor Vikas Prinja, a TikToking dentist, informed his followers that many individuals were neglecting their oral care in the morning.

Brushing is necessary to keep your teeth clean and prevent any potential decay, but the technique you use is just as vital. 

The dentist says, “you could be ruining your teeth” if you don’t brush your teeth thoroughly with toothpaste before having breakfast.

He clarified that the body produces less saliva while we sleep, and saliva shields teeth from microorganisms that could erode and discolor them.

Eating before brushing provides bacteria with a substantial diet. 

Brushing immediately after breakfast can introduce acid into your teeth as a waste product.

Dr. Sam Jethwa and other dental professionals assert that morning mouths are often highly acidic due to breakfast consumption. 

This supports the idea of delaying brushing until after meals to avoid this acidic interaction.

They advised against brushing your teeth soon away since you might only be wearing down the enamel by brushing that acidic material into your teeth. 

Brushing before breakfast is like applying a protective layer to your teeth rather than leaving them uncovered and then having to clean away the food particles.

It also gives your teeth an extra defense against the things you’re going to put them through.

We appreciate the dentists’ advise and thank them for it, but we would also like to draw attention to the fact that many people are too busy with their morning routines to clean their teeth and wait for the sensation of minty mouth to go away before eating breakfast. 

It is common knowledge that if orange juice is consumed in the morning from a mouth that has just used toothpaste, its flavor will be completely destroyed.

However, another dentist has advised against using mouthwash right after brushing when it comes to this matter. 

It’s not ideal to instantly rinse your mouthwash away from the fluoride residue that brushing leaves on your teeth.

Dentist Dr. Shaadi Manouchehri advised against brushing straight after breakfast, but he also advised against doing so immediately after being ill or shortly after consuming your morning coffee. 

You are rubbing acid on your teeth if you have recently chewed or drank coffee, which is bad for your teeth over time.
