The way I’m used to it is: 1. Wake up 2. Breakfast 3. Brush teeth.

Having it as 1, 3, 2 doesn’t make sense for me.

    The article doesn’t back up your statement.

    What it does say is that:

    • brushing teeth regularly is important
    • brushing teeth when enamel is weakened by acidity is destructive
    • breakfasts foods tend to be acidic (well, acidity raises after a meal in general)

    And with this it reaches the conclusion that brushing your teeth before breakfast is safer than brushing right afterwards, and is more likely to become a routine than if you wait 30-60 minutes after your first meal. It even ends up with:

    Brushing in the morning, whenever you’re able to do it, is still better than skipping brushing your teeth at all.

    And if you’re from a country where visiting a dentist is affordable, you have probably heard an additional advice - visit a dentist for a checkup and a professional cleaning at least twice a year.

      This is what my point is. What are you arguing?
