When is the best time to brush one’s teeth? Before or after breakfast?

Q.
When is the best time for brushing one’s teeth? Is it best to brush before breakfast or after?
A.
Dear Enquirer,
The best time to brush one’s teeth is after breakfast, so your mouth is nice and clean and there is less chance of bacteria to thrive.
