I always do it after eating breakfast, since I feel like my teeth would be grimy if I brushed, then ate.
What do you all do?

After, of course. It doesn't even make sense to do it before eating.
before and after.
I have to brush my teeth first thing when I wake up, it´s just me...
Before. I brush when I leave the house in the morning, and I eat breakfast when I get to work.

I know this is gross, but I do the same thing.
I've heard (from a dentist) that it's best to brush before breakfast and before bed. You don't want to brush right after you eat because your mouth goes through a period of acidity followed by a period of remineralization. Brushing before breakfast gets rid of the bacteria that formed during the night. You want to brush before bed to get rid of bacteria that can feast during the night, but wait at least an hour until after dinner so the remineralization period is complete.
Brushing your teeth before breakfast is like wiping your butt before making a poop.
No.

I haven't made "a poop" since I was four. Since growing up I shit. You sound so gay.

Not true. At all.
Brush lightly before breakfast, floss very well and flush your mouth out with water.
After breakfast, wait 30 minutes, floss again and use a no-alcohol mouthwash.
I am a dentist.

Do what he said.
I am a dental floss salesman.
Brushing teeth is so old fashioned. I typically just like to eat something rough (chips, nuts) to clean the enamel surface. The body is constucted to strengthen itself through self cleaning. I am 48 and have never brushed my teeth, never had a cavity, and never seen a dentist. So obviously something is working here!

Human teeth appear to be designed to last around 30 years unattended.
Lets keep in mind that if a cavity sets in and we begin to see rot, this type of scenario would have likely cost someone their life back in the day.
For every hot shot that posts something like "Just Another Guy," I see about 50 people a month who neglect their teeth and end up with horrific results.
Please your stars man, you are a very, very , very small percentage of the population.
I also bet you have breath from hell, but that is neither here nor there...
Excuse me... BLESS your stars, not PLEASE your stars... Damn autocorrect.
what is this thing you call "teeth brushing"?
I joke with my wife that I'm going to stop brushing my teeth so they completely rot out. Then, I'll get dentures and not have to brush again. Just let 'em soak at night. My dad has dentures and I'm quite jealous. Brushing your teeth is the WORST!
