Should I brush my teeth first and then drink coffee when I wake up in the morning? Or should I drink coffee and then brush my teeth?


If you brush your teeth and then drink coffee, you will want to brush your teeth again. However, if you drink coffee without brushing your teeth, your mouth may become sticky and unpleasant. Which of these two is the correct answer?

Colgate of the United States has developed a new technology to solve this problem and applied for a patent.

According to a patent application filed by Colgate, the new technology developed by Colgate is to embed a chemical in the head of a toothbrush as a patch and release it into the mouth little by little each time a user brushes their teeth. .. The effect of the patch is said to last for about three months.


Colgate will sell "caffeine" patch toothbrushes. By using this, caffeine is released into the mouth and absorbed into the body when brushing teeth in the morning, and it is possible to wake up as refreshingly as when drinking coffee.

Colgate is also considering a system that allows people to take medicine by embedding it in a toothbrush and brushing their teeth. Once the system is on the market, it will be good news for those who tend to forget to take their medicine in the morning.

The company also plans to sell a "diet toothbrush." The toothbrush has an appetite-suppressing ingredient embedded in it, which makes it possible to prevent overeating in subsequent meals simply by brushing your teeth.
