HOOK
[Close-up of toothbrush next to coffee and orange juice] Do you brush your teeth before breakfast or after? The answer could make a real difference for your enamel.
KEY POINT 1
[Animated teeth with a protective shield] If you eat first, especially acidic foods or drinks like citrus, coffee, or soda, your enamel is temporarily softer. Brushing right away can wear it down more easily.
KEY POINT 2
[Person brushing before heading to the kitchen] Brushing before breakfast helps clear plaque and bacteria that built up overnight. It also leaves fluoride on your teeth, which can help protect them while you eat.
KEY POINT 3
[Clock graphic showing a 30-minute wait] If you prefer brushing after breakfast, wait about 30 minutes after acidic foods or drinks. That gives saliva time to neutralize acids and helps protect your enamel.
KEY POINT 4
[Split screen: flossing, brushing, and rinsing with water] No matter when you brush, the basics matter most: brush for two minutes, use fluoride toothpaste, floss daily, and rinse with water after meals if you can’t brush.
