Is it better to brush your teeth before or after you eat, when you wake up in the morning?

After eating: which would reduce food particles that would otherwise stay in your mouth all day

All of above: You should brush your teeth in Morning after waking up , because of possible tarter build up overnight. And should brush again after you eat, so that food debris can be removed from the beth. Floss afterwards. Smile.
