▲ 136 ▼ Why do people brush their teeth first thing in the morning? (lemmy.world) submitted 3 years ago by zephyr@lemmy.world to c/asklemmy@lemmy.world 83 comments fedilink hide all child comments The way I'm used to it is: 1. Wake up 2. Breakfast 3. Brush teeth. Having it as 1, 3, 2 doesn't make sense for me.
[–] SuperRecording@kbin.social 6 points 3 years ago (1 child) you know how your teeth feel smooth after you brush? that smoothness helps things like coffee not stick to them, in turn helps avoid stains brushing before coffee is legit the thing to do permalink fedilink source hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Packopus@kbin.social 2 points 3 years ago* (last edited 3 years ago) (1 child) @SuperRecording I've always been told the opposite. As long as you brush soon after you actually prevent stains. And to always make sure to at least rinse with water after coffee. @zephyr permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Earthwormjim91@lemmy.world 9 points 3 years ago Brushing immediately after anything acidic,like coffee, is highly damaging to the enamel of your teeth. permalink fedilink source parent
