    a simple yet excellent debatable question u have. i brush before. the reason i do is because when i wake up i get that morning breath at times, freshning up like brushing and washing my face makes me feel awake and alert. If i would eat breakfast and then brush my food wouldnt be quite as pleasant to enjoy b/c basically all my food will taste gross, u need to get all that bacteria of the palate of ur tongue ASAP. maybe mouthwash will resolve this. Anyway u see it im sure u have ur reasons, but this is mine. Thanks for reading!

    before, because I don't eat breakfast until I get to work so I don't want to show up with bad breath!

    Don't usually eat breakfast, but when I do, I brush after. Sometimes before and after, to keep my breath fresh

    Before. Just in case I have morning breath.

    It depends. If there's something important going on that day then I would brush before and after.

    Timetable:

    Important thing going on that day: Get up, bath, get dressed, brush teeth, breakfast, brush teeth, do something before I have to set off, make sure I'm prepared, brush teeth, set off.

    Normal day: Get up, bath, get dressed, breakfast, brush teeth, set off.

    Before, usually right after I wake up and take a shower. I do it because I like having clean teeth and hate having bad breath.
