Typically after: You brush your teeth after to remove the food and particles from around your teeth. Try not to brush your teeth immediately after having highly acidic drinks (like orange juice). Always rinse your mouth thoroughly with water first to reduce the acid attack and then brush and clean between your teeth well after the acid has been neutralized.

After.: Everyone should brush and floss at least twice a day. Once in the am and once in pm, before retiring to bed. Brushing and flossing after a meal removes the food debris that bacteria thrive on thus reducing your chance of tooth decay and gum disease.
