I’ve never understood the appeal, or how it works.
- do people just wake up and start consuming food/drink without brushing their teeth & washing their face?
- if not, do they get out of bed to wash up and then get back in bed to eat!?
- what’s the appeal? I get liking someone else making your breakfast, but why is having it in bed fun?
I suppose you don’t HAVE to. But I find it unhygienic to eat before brushing my teeth as soon as I wake up. Might just be my personal issue. 🤷♂️
that’s like wiping before you shit
Teeth and ass aren’t the same thing and that’s not an equivalent comparison considering multiple people have pointed out that brushing before gives a protective coating or at least is less damaging since there aren’t food acids present, softening the enamel. A quick google search confirms this.
One reason we brush our teeth is to apply a protective coating. Brushing your teeth immediately after eating can damage your teeth.
A more appropriate analogy is asking whether you’re jumping in a pool of mud before waxing your shoes.
I was told by a dentist to brush my teeth before eating. So at least one dentist would disagree with that I guess?
That’s the 1 in 5 dentists who don’t recommend a fluoride toothpaste.
Dentist: “Use toothpicks, shove em under your gums! Use the blood as your toothpaste! You can even do it to other stuff, too, like digging out a bladder stone!”
Me, in the chair in the office: 😐😶😯🫨
please.
bladder stones you gotta use salad tongs
Wait… That’s not normal? I wipe my whole body down before hand.
What, you don’t do it both before and after?
It’s just like showers, you take one as you get out of bed, and another one right before going to bed.
Some people are just dirty, sheeesh…
Edit: -> /s
Almost no one showers more than once per day. So for you, “most people are just dirty”, not just “some”.
when i lived in a hot, humid environment i showered twice a day. once when i woke up, because i used to have hair and that’s how it worked best, and once when i got in for the evening and could stay in air conditioning the rest of the night.
I added the sarcasm to my previous comment…
For me it’s the other way around. After eating I want to clean my teeth.
The taste of toothpaste lingers for a while and ruins the flavor of breakfast, especially orange juice.
The Way™ is Coffee/tea/juice to temporarily overwrite that morning breath feeling, then breakfast, then brushing teeth.
The way™️ is to drink enough water and actually brush before bed. If you’re sufficiently hydrated, and you don’t have all that bacteria shitting up your mouth then your morning breath will be a lot less stanky.
Your way is to have to pee all night.
I’m not saying drink a gallon right before bed. Drink plenty of water throughout the day, then slowly less and less until it’s about bed time. Then take a fat piss before you go to bed.
Instructions unclear. Urinated on hooker and got charged extra.
Aaah before, not in. Why didn’t anyone tell me
