  1. What is the best time to brush your teeth? We are always and have been advised by our dentist to brush our teeth twice a day, i.e, right after we get up and right before we go to sleep. But do we all follow this, well not many of us follow this. Though we usually brush our teeth in the morning daily, we often don’t brush our teeth in the night and skip it. In fact, if you brush your teeth right before eating breakfast, for example, you might be making them more vulnerable to the bacteria and sugars in your mouth. How do you know if you’re brushing your teeth at the right time? Here’s what you need to know if you are asking yourself when is the best time to brush my teeth. 1. Brush in the morning The benefits of brushing your teeth in the morning are obvious: overnight bacteria has built up in the mouth and it both cause bad breath and start to produce the acid that wears away at your enamel. It’s also just a good way to start the morning. When your mouth feels fresh, you will be ready for the day. You’ll reduce the amount of bacteria in your mouth, which is extremely important for keeping your mouth clean throughout the day. While many people will carry a toothbrush with them and brush their teeth after every single meal, this is rarely necessary. If you brush your teeth in the morning for the full two minutes recommended by dentists, you will probably find that your mouth is clean enough throughout the day.

Even if you eat an extremely healthy diet, you might still be eating foods that affect your enamel. The acids in citrus, for example, can take a toll on your teeth if they are not cleaned away. A good tip for maintaining your

This will help to clear away not only food particles that might be stuck to your teeth, but acids, both those from the foods that you eat but also that are produced by the bacteria in the mouth. Just about everything we eat even the healthy foods contains some sort of compound that can have negative effects on the teeth if not cleaned away by vigorous brushing in the evening. This will help to get rid of the smell that comes along with bacteria and little bits of food in the mouth and keeps your teeth shiny, white, and healthy. 3. Are there other times you should be brushing your teeth? After eating a sugary snack, it is a very good idea to brush your teeth. Even if you are at work or school, it is a good idea to carry a little tube of toothpaste and a toothbrush with you, that you can use to clean your teeth if you eat something that is likely to hurt your teeth. This is also a good tip for individuals who have Invisalign or metal braces, since you do not want to put your Invisalign onto teeth that are not clean (as your aligners can trap bacteria and food particles that would otherwise be washed away by saliva against your teeth) and metal braces catch food pieces that you might not be able to fully clean away just with your tongue and sloshing some water around your mouth. If you start to realize that you have bad breath, taking a moment to brush your teeth, even if you have not eaten or drank anything that is particularly bad for your teeth, is also a good idea. The goal is to start and maintain a habit of teeth brushing so that even if you slack off one morning, the effort is made up that night. It is important to establish the habit and then to keep up with it so that your teeth have the chance to fight off gingivitis and cavities on their own. So the best time to brush teeth is what works for your schedule and what keeps your teeth clean and if your diet, however, demands more frequent brushing, make it a part of your daily routine.
