A member asked:
When we wash our teeth before and after eating?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: Brush teeth thoroughly in morning before breakfast to remove bacteria that can turn your meals into harmful acids. Brush thoroughly before bed (2 minutes by the clock) to clear remaining food debris from teeth so bacteria don't have a substrate. Brush lightly or simply rinse with water after every meal. Floss or WaterPik daily to clean between teeth where toothbrush can't reach.
