Brushing my teeth in the morning is one of the first things I do. Then I'll saunter downstairs and make coffee or eat cereal or something. But I know lots of people who think that's gross (toothpaste aftertaste?) and eat breakfast first and THEN brush their teeth.
What do you do?

I don't eat breakfast until I get to work, so I normally brush my teeth right before I leave the house, then drink coffee on my way to work, then eat my oatmeal at work!

I brush before breakfast. I wait for lo to wake me up, change and feed her, then get myself ready and eat.

It's the first thing I do every morning. Easy to do while I'm still half asleep.

I brush after I've showered and before I get dressed or do my hair. That way if I spill the toothpaste on myself, it's okay. 
I'm too lazy to head back upstairs after eating to brush again.

I brush them right after I wake up. I have to brush them before I shower, otherwise it just feels too weird to have a dirty mouth in the shower! My DH cannot brush his teeth before he eats though. He thinks it's so weird that I brush before breakfast.

i brush my teeth before. however, if i know i want to eat some grapefruit (i bought some recently), i'll brush my teeth after so the grapefruit isn't so sour.

After breakfast just because I feel like my teeth as just as dirty as before, so I feel like it's a waste.

I brush my teeth right before I walk out the door to my car, after I've had coffee/OJ...

I actually brush before AND after breakfast. I have to brush right when I get up (HATE morning breath) and then I brush after I eat when I'm getting ready to head out.

It used to always be right when I get up but now it depends what time the LO gets up. And I work from home so I can be a bit more flexible in teeth brushing! LOL.

Since I usually eat breakfast once I get to the office in the morning, I brush beforehand obviously.
On weekends, I eat before brushing usually.

After-- I drink OJ with my breakfast, and I hate the funky taste if I brush before.
I actually brush waaaaay after breakfast because I work from home. So it's usually 10am when I brush! LOL.

Before breakfast. I like to be "ready for the day" before I eat, it's a little quirk I guess but I've done that for as long as I can remember.

I brush my teeth as soon as I wake up. I don't eat breakfast until later (once I'm at work).

This has become a double edged sword lately. If I don't brush before eating or doing anything else really it makes me vomit because of the nasty morning taste and just the thought of it alone grosses me out. However, with the curse of morning sickness if I don't eat something before even getting out of bed I will puke. So basically...I puke either way. Pregnancy aside though I have to brush first thing. Husband is the opposite, he has to eat first and then brush.

Before breakfast. Sometimes after too, but definitely always before.
