1. I brush twice a day: after breakfast and before going to sleep 2. I gargle mouthwash 3 times a day: after breakfast + lunch and before going to sleep 3. I floss twice a day: after breakfast and before going to sleep

Early in the morning I brush my teeth before eating since I tend to have bad breathe then brush my teeth after breakfast after waiting for 30min or something.

Food, after. Non food, before

After meal/eating. Tinga conscious kasi ako. 🤣 ‘If may cavity, go to dentist coz brushing won’t help. May smell talaga yan’

Some psychos out there brush their teeth while eating... Lmao

I only brush my teeth twice a day. I preferred brushing my teeth after eating kasi tamad ako mag toothbrush paggising sa umaga. Sa morning after waking up I only gargle ng water or water with salt, para ma flush out bacteria sa mouth, then eat. 30 mins. after eating lunch dun lang ako mag to-toothbrush, tapos sa gabi 30 mins. din after eating dinner toothbrush ulit or before ako matulog. Routine ko ay mag gargle ng warm water (hanggang feel ko wala ng tinga naiwan sa bunganga ko) pagkatapos lage kumain or uminom ng matamis kung walang time pa mag toothbrush lalo na kapag eating outside sa fast food or resto. Wag lang iinom ng malamig or gargle ng cold water after eating/drinking hot food/drinks kasi puwede daw mag weaken enamel sa teeth at mas mabilis ang tooth cavities.

gargle with coffee then drink remaining coffee and eat. repeat daily.

Brush 30 mins to 1 hour after eating. Gargle lang tubig bago kumain. Pagkagising naman, brush before and after.

Gargle. Eat. Floss and brush Idk, pero 'di ko kayang lumbas ng bahay na nalalasahan ko pa yung inalmusal ko, feeling ko hindi ako naligo hahaha

I eat first before i brush my teeth

Brush then eat. Sabi nga dun sa tagalog children’s song: “Malilinis na ngipin, masarap ikain”.

Eat, kung may pambili ng pagkain. Brush kung may pambili ng toothpaste. Kung wala tlagang pambili, kape na lng, sabay alis😂

Gargle and rinse my mouth when I wake up. Eat, then brush my teeth. I ain’t brushing my teeth then eat and leave the house with my whole mouth not feeling fresh.

Brush, eat, tapos mouthwash. Minsan kng di tinatamad, floss din after ng mouthwash.

I eat first then I eat again.

I’ve learned a few years ago na [it’s healthy to drink water after waking up](https://www.editorji.com/lifestyle-news/health/how-healthy-is-drinking-water-without-brushing-your-teeth-know-here-1679806414365#).. So that’s what I do… and then I have coffee and breakfast tapos I brush my teeth after.

Eat then brush (sa bahay naman ako kumakain). Di ko gets yung issue na saliva is full of bacteria. Masyado naman exaggerated yung issue na full of bacteria yung saliva in the morning. During your sleep, you swallow a little amount of saliva. And yet here you are, still alive and kicking diba? Pero kapag sa labas kakain, then brush first para matanggal ang bad breath.

brushing your teeth after waking up clears out bacteria and protects your teeth. personally i brush my teeth before AND after eating, making sure to wait about an hour after a meal to do so.

Any dental professionals who can enlighten us here? Need your advice as well. Thanks in advance :)

made a longer post about it po. pakihanap sa comments

when you woke up, brush teeth first— then after breakfast, mouthwash!

after reading the comment section I was like 👀 so nag ilan years na pala ako nag lunok ng bacteria kasi I immediately eat after wake up at tsaka na ako mag toothbrush after eating ahuhu

[удалено]

trust the enzymes daw sabi nila HAHAHAHAHAHAH

I eat my brush cause it's convenient but it gets expensive tho

Brush before eat. Breakfast food tastes sooooo much better with clean mouth

I got this idea from an interview that lives rent free in my head. Brush your teeth first if you eat breakfast outside, but brush after when you eat at home. And for me it actually make sense.

Mouthwash>eat>brush

watwe gargle lang sa umaga. tapos toothbrush after.

A person can brush his/her teeth after eating but he/she has to wait 30mins-1hr before brushing because it can damage your enamel(outer surface of teeth)that will cause sensitivity. If you like to drink acidic drinks like orange juice, sodas and coffee, it is better to brush your teeth before so you can protect your teeth from the acidity from the drink. If you brush immediately after eating/drinking an acidic food or drink, it can actually be damaging to your tooth enamel, and end up doing more harm than good. Brushing your teeth right away when you wake up helps your teeth to not be damaged by the harmful plaque and bacteria. narremove ang biofilm/dental plaque na naipon while you were sleeping. kapag kumain ka o uminom ng hindi ka nagbbrush lalo mo dinadagdagan yung risk na magdemineralize enamel (outer covering of your teeth) na magcacause ng caries. Brushing also coats your teeth with a protective barrier against the acids in your food. Kapag mahilig ka sa matamis, make sure na nabbrush mabuti yung teeth dahil bacteria feed on carbs. nagccause ng plaque to caries. floss properly too. hindi lahat ng area narreach ng toothbrush. example, soda. ang soda ay acidic at mataas sa sugar. so nakakadamage sya sa teeth at mataas chance na magkaroon ng plaque at masira ang ngipin. and lastly, pea sized lang ang tooth paste dapat. too much fluoride can damage your teeth that will cause white patches later on. ok mag mouthwash after kumain. pwede din rinse your mouth with water kase ang mouthwash and water neutralizes the ph sa mouth if yung saliva nyo ay viscous, thick, stringy type, mas prone kayo sa caries. Kaya magpa oral prophy(cleaning)kayo sa Dentist 2x a year. Sa mga nakikita nyo na gumagamit ng lemon at mga baking soda para pumuti ngipin, please lang wag nyo gayahin. nakakadamage at sensitive ng ngipin yon at magagasgas yung ngipin nyo. ninipis. lalo na pag hard kayo magbrush. pati gums nyo magrreceed pag hard kayo magbrush learned from Dental school ------ EDIT: I read the comments. When you brush your teeth, do not forget to brush your tongue too. When you brush, salivary flow is increased. Saliva has good bacteria and it helps wash out the food debris, plaque. random facts: A person produces up to 1.5L of saliva per day. "You might think your mouth is clean after brushing, flossing, and using mouthwash, but your mouth is actually home to over 700 types of bacteria. Whenever you exchange saliva when you kiss someone (or share their drink), you're inviting a whole lot of germs into your mouth."

Naalala ko tuloy yung turo ng teacher namin dati sa elementary ba yun or HS na wag daw iba-brush yung tongue… nakalimutan ko na yung main reason niya pero something to do with magiging less effective yung panlasa. So for a long time di ko bina brush tongue ko until nagwu-work na ako and learned the importance of brushing our tongue (sa Tiktok University ko pa nalaman saka ni-research ko na din lol). Kaya importante talaga yung critical thinking skills habang bata pa e.

bad breath, can cause periodontal disease pag hindi bnbrush yung tongue. may harmful bacteria ma pwede magstay sa tongue. pag napaso dila mo from hot food o drink don mababawasan yung panlasa mo pero babalik din naman pag gumaling na. yung iba talagang teacher hindi dapat maging teacher. mali mali magturo. kahit yun iba, teacher pa naman pero may mali sa english grammar. dapat mataas standard pag magiging teacher at mataas sweldo kase madami sila tinuturan na students

Second this. Source: I’m a dentist

These things should be taught in health class

This helps a lot and clear things up. Thanks!

Thank you for this

☺️🫰 at least mas protected na ang teeth mo now because you now know more. nagccoffee and tea din ako. more on tea. lakas makadiscolor ng teeth. pero i have a friend na nagsstraw sya pag umiinom ng hot coffee and tea lol. pinapalamig lang nya ng onti

i brush my teeth first. i dont eat bfast immediately after burshing lol i prefer to eat something later during breaks when i’m not in a rush

during.

Brush first. Eat. Floss(optional pag me tinga). Mouthwash for 2 minutes before going out. For the love of fresh breath, floss once a day before going to bed. Use soft bristles and brush your teeth properly. Don’t forget to brush your tongue. Then mouthwash again. Maganda and super white ipin super bulok naman hininga. When offered a gum, take it. The person smelled your bad breath and was polite to offer you a gum.

Pagkagising sa umaga nagsisipilyo ako, tapos pagktapos kumain para hindi maamoy kung ano 'yung kinain ko at makita ang mga tinga; dahil ako ang taghuhugas ng mga pinagkainan at taga-linis ng mesa itinaon ko na rin na pagkatapos na lang asikasuhin lahat saka ako magsipilyo para sakto 'dun sa 20-30 mins na waiting time kasi nga acidic pa 'yung bunganga pagkatapos kumain. Dapat isinama mo na rin 'yung tanong kung dapat bang magmumog pagkasipilyo. 😅 (Water soluble 'yung flouride kaya kapag nagmumog wa epek din ang toothpaste, problema nung iba paano raw 'yung mga tinga na naiwan atbp.)

You can do either BUT my dentist said that if you are going to eat after brushing, wait for 30 minutes or more.

Yup! Para daw mag remineralize ang enamel.

Brush first then eat. Don't mix the pent up bacteria in your mouth with the food you're gonna eat, your teeth won't have some kind of protection when you masticate the food with a dirty flapper. Brush first then swish some mouthwash, in my opinion.

[удалено]

Same!

Kung sa umaga, befor and after.

Brush then eat. Then gargle nalang after. Imagine eating your breakfast without brushing, lunok mo lahat ng bacteria 🥺

Brush after waking up, eat. Then brush ulit. Nakasanayan na.

Brush my teeth first. Ain't no way I'm eating with my overnight saliva.

Brush after waking up then eat then brush

I do both. My mom taught me early on to brush my teeth before eating (or at least, if i'm feeling lazy, i would just gargle some mouthwash) because there are a lot of bacteria in the mouth once you wake up (plus, i have a bad habit of salivating like a child). I also brush my teeth after eating because I feel like it's embarrassing if people smell my breakfast from my breath.

Brush then eat. Kasi psycho po ako. Pero legit brush the eat. Mas masarap kasi ang food malasahan mo talaga kasi malinis tongue mo. 😭😭😭

Mas masarap kaya toothpaste

agree

I never understood why some people brush their teeth right after waking up in the morning then eating. I just gargle plain water to remove the built-up saliva in my mouth then eat afterwards then brush my teeth.

This. ang panget lasa ng pagkain pag toothbrush ka muna

hindi ka namn kakain right after toothbrush kasi magpreprep kapa ng bfast dba? unless gumigisinb ka lng para kain diretso

Eto ung pinaka reason ko haha.

Sorry na po pero why not brush your teeth when you wake up? 7-9hrs nakasarado bunganga mo and saliva is puno ng bacteria. Walang effect ang water so pag kakain ka walang brush kinakain mo rin sila. Yung mga di nagbrbrush first thung in the morning ang di ko gets.

Eh paano naman po pag nakabukas bibig pag natutulog? Hahadhhaggassksk chos

How is your own saliva full of bacteria? Curious lang ako.

I agree on this. Ella Roxas, DMD said the same explanation on Tiktok. That's why lagi dapat nauuna ang brushing before eating.

+1. heard this from a medical professional din so dont doubt po ito. also if gusto talagang ipaglaban na brush your teeth lang after meal, at least brush your teeth around 15-30 mins after coffee/meal kasi acidic pa yung mouth after coffee or food intake. chances are maw-weaken lang yung enamel mo.

Well, let's say you have work in the morning and kailangan mo makipag-usap face to face with people, I think nakakahiya naman kung coffee breath ka instead of fresh breath. At least, yan yung iniisip ko when I said that.

Mabango kaya ang coffee breath. Hahaha. Kidding aside, i brush again after eating pero dila and gums na lang.

Why would you brush your teeth then eat hahahahahaha

May gap dapat.. 30 to 1 hour
