Brushing your teeth before or after breakfast? The best routine for a healthy start to the day!
Waking up in the morning, smelling the first coffee and looking forward to breakfast is a favorite ritual of the day for many people. But the key question is: should you brush your teeth before or after breakfast?
Our clear recommendation at Natch: brush your teeth immediately after getting up - and not after eating. You can find out why this is better for your oral microbiome and therefore your oral health (and general well-being) here - including expert opinions.
Why brushing your teeth before breakfast is better
While you sleep, saliva production slows down. This creates ideal conditions for bacteria to colonize your teeth and tongue. A layer of plaque, mucus and bacterial residue forms - the infamous “bad breath in the morning” is the clearest sign of this.
If you eat breakfast without brushing your teeth, you simply swallow all these bacteria and deposits with your food. www.ihre-vorsorge.de | Your prevention
Dr. Milad Shadrooh, known as the “Singing Dentist”:
“When you sleep, a lot of bacteria accumulates in your mouth and plaque builds up.
That's why it's good to remove all these deposits when you wake up, before you eat breakfast and start your day.” Source: Vogue.de
Toothpaste also contains fluoride, which strengthens tooth enamel and makes it more resistant to acidic foods.zahnboutique.ch
Die Nachteile vom Zähneputzen nach dem Frühstück
Many people believe that they need to clean their teeth even more after eating. But beware: your tooth enamel is particularly affected after eating acidic foods such as fruit, juice or coffee. Direct brushing can then damage the enamel and cause it to become thinner over time
Dr. Christin Steinbach, dentist at “Lieblings-Zahnarzt”, explains: “If you don't have half an hour after breakfast, we therefore recommend using your toothbrush before your first meal instead.”
If you still want to brush after breakfast, you should wait at least 30 minutes to allow the pH value in your mouth to neutralize.
The perfect morning routine for fresh oral health
A clear, healthy start to the day begins with the right oral care.

- Brush your teeth immediately after getting up - ideally with our natural toothpaste -abs, all of which are free from harsh or questionable ingredients.
- Clean your tongue - ideally with our tongue scraper to remove bacteria and plaque that has built up overnight.
- Optional: Oil pulling - an Ayurvedic ritual that can also help to bind bacteria from the oral cavity.
- Between meals or after eating: Use mouthwash - such as our innovative Boombastic Mouthwash for fresh breath and added protection.
