Why is it better to brush your teeth before breakfast rather than after? And why do we need to brush our teeth in the morning if we brushed them at night and didn’t eat anything in between?

I actually asked my dentist recently which one was better and she was very clear that you should brush your teeth *after* eating, another dentist might say something else, but I’m following her advise.

She also said that it’s best to wait a while (how long is dependent on what you ate/drank) after eating, it’s best to drink milk after eating because that restores the pH level (I think) in your mouth
