When do you brush your teeth?

It is advised to brush your teeth at least twice a day, but when? Just before bed is a gimme because you're about to lie mostly still for 6+ hours. Best to not leave food particles to fester.

What's the best time for an earlier brushing? After breakfast? After lunch? After work/school?

Plus, what's up with TV and movies having breakfast scenes where they get up and head right out the door? Did they already brush and now they're going to leave food to fester all day? Eww.

I actually find it more enjoyable to have breakfast after my mouth is refreshed. I wouldn’t enjoy eating with the taste of old mouth juice all over my tongue

But doesn't the toothpaste taste overwrites every flavour for you?

With the exception of orange juice, any food I eat replaces the minty flavour with its own. I guess I just need that reset to “minty fresh” before eating (I’ve been conditioned by Big Toothpaste to associate minty with clean)

I see... My problem is that I loathe anything with mint, so to me it taints anything and I can't enjoy anything until the flavour vanishes completely.
