I make a half-hearted effort to brush my teeth before I play. But, since the only place I practice is on campus, 10 minutes from my apartment, the immediate effects of toothpaste in the tuba are not experiences.

But I believe that it is good to both brush your teeth AND scrub your lips/face before playing, to help reduce the gunk that builds up on the mouthpiece rim. That gunk gets annoying, gross and hinders playing.
