Eat first then brush or brush then eat?

Yo tengo un questionado.

Do you wake up in the morning and eat and then brush or brush and then eat.

I'm using the correct "then" right? Than is thAND (comparison) while then is thTIMEn or whatever...time

Interesting question. I brush first, then eat.

And yes, you used the correct form of "then"

I agree with madmag. I eat and then brush but people are like "***"?

I usually bring up the analogy would you shower and then work out and go on with your day?

What also makes me weirded out is how guys shower and then shave. I MEAN ***!!!!!!!!!!1 Isn't that a little backwards?

edit: I don't drink milk or oj in the morning. Winna~!

I:

I actually brush several (6+) times a day. I went to the dentist and she was like: "Your teeth are TOO clean" lol

I usually brush first in the morning, but I usually brush after a big meal if I'm going somewhere, and again at night. I think the night brushing is the more important one anyway.

agbm, many razors/shaving creams say that you are supposed to wash your face before you shave it. Given that a shower is a good time to wash your face, most people shave after they shower.

I eat, then brush. However for breakfast, I brush, then eat, then rinse with Listerine cause my dentist told me to.

I'm minty fresh.

I used to brush and then eat, but recently I've begun eating before brushing because as some of you have already mentioned, it makes more sense that way. I remember at sleepovers, I was the only kid who woke up early to brush her teeth before breakfast. Man, I was such a confused child. I thought my parents got it all wrong. But anyway, once schools starts up again, I'll probably go back to brushing before eating because it's a lot easier that way when you're short on time.

I have a challened

Next time you shave, shower after you shave.

Then the next time you shave, shower after.

you will instantly notice that the later is better. and causes much less irritation.
