Is breakfast breath worse than lunch breath or dinner breath?
I don't know. But it seems very wasteful to brush teeth and then eat because then you have a lot of food particles and bacteria still.
Better to eat breakfast and then brush because then you have a fresh breath and no unnecessary gunk and bacteria in your mouth the whole day.
As someone else said: food softens the enamel and makes your teeth more vulnerable so brushing right after breakfast may cause way more damage. I always brush my teeth before breakfast and almost never have any problems with my teeth. I know that my friends who frequently need treatment for their teeth brush them after breakfast.
But that's of course anecdotal evidence that doesn't say much, and I'm no dentist, so I may be wrong.
