Foaming agents that are added to toothpaste interfere with the taste buds on your tongue, suppressing the ability to taste sweetness and saltiness, and enhancing any bitter flavors.

The powerful mint flavor that most of us want from our toothpaste adds to the problem. While it doesn’t interfere with our tastebuds in the same way as the foaming agents, the mint flavor overpowers the taste of anything that is consumed afterwards.

The rule – and it makes sense for the health of your teeth too – is brush your teeth after meals, not before.

If you use a toothpaste without sodium lauryl sulphate (foaming agent), you won't have this problem.

I use Toms of Maine toothpaste. It's an all-natural toothpaste without SLS or a lot of other chemicals found in traditional toothpastes.

I like Jason's toothpaste, which has won taste awards. J/a/s/o/n's even makes an orange-flavored toothpaste for kids and an orange spice one for adults, so if you really need to brush before drinking your orange juice, it won't clash so badly.
