    Yuck. I'm teeth obsessed. I don't go anywhere without a toothbrush and floss.

    I don't work out in the morning but, if I did, I'd probably wait to brush my teeth until after.

    Besides, who is really getting close enough to smell your breath, anyway?

    I brush my teeth in the shower. Not that you asked...

    :ohwell:
    Wait... You shower before going to the gym?!

    Oh silly rabbit, I don't go to the gym! *LOL*

    Although I don't go to the gym in the morning (maybe 10-11 AM at the earliest) am I the only person who doesn't brush my teeth in the morning? I see no point in brushing my teeth before I eat breakfast. What, is my coffee going to be offended by my breath?

    I only brush my teeth at night, if there is something stuck between my teeth, or if I am going to a special event.

    Brushing too often is bad for your gums :c
    Yep and you can actually strip the enamel off your teeth if you brush too much too.

    Not a morning gym goer, but I brush my teeth before I do almost anything in the mornings. I literally wake up, go to the bathroom, and brush my teeth. Doesn't matter what I'm doing that day, it's always priority. I'm very particular about my teeth.

    Oh I guess that answers itself!!

    I brush my teeth at night and in the morning after breakfast. I don't like to eat right after I've brush.

    Typically I don't... When I begin my morning work out I am still asleep... I get up start the coffee work out drink the coffee, get ready for work and finally as I after I drink that last drop of coffee I brush my teeth before walking out the door. But honestly, even when I was leaving the house to work out, I still did it as I got ready for work not before my workout.

    After having braces for three years i got into the habit of brushing my teeth after every meal just to make sure nothing was stuck to my braces

    Pssh. I get my pre-workout snack and drink in and then I'm out that door. Fellow gym goers are lucky I'm even fully dressed!

    The people that are brushing every time before "sexy time" have obviously never had spontaneous sex before. Shame for you guys :(.

    Haha, I don't think I'd stop and ask the guy to wait so I could go brush my teeth.

    Yeah, my boyfriend would think I was a complete moron if I stopped him in his tracks and said I'd have to go brush my teeth instead of having some spontaneous sex that he's offering to me on a plate hahaha.

    I ALWAYS brush before I go workout! Even if I go on a run by myself! What if something happens and you have to have mouth to mouth. You gotta be prepared people! :wink:

    We have rebreathers to make sure that doesn't happen. Also, why would anyone leave home without a pocket mask? It's almost as important as making sure the condom is still safely tucked away in your wallet haha

    Makes me wonder if you were "that guy" next to me on the treadmill the other day. His breath just about knocked me over . He also had awful BO.

    Oh gosh no, that would never have been me.

    I don't use the treadmill.

    hahahahahahahaha

    I brush. I don't like the way my mouth feels if I haven't brushed. ...sticky, you know?
