    Because your body naturally produces things you need to clean, it’s like 75% of the reason you do it. Eating stuff just speeds up the production of bacteria. Give your breath a smell as you wake up in the morning before you eat anything, it reeks.

    You should brush your teeth in the morning whether you eat breakfast or not.

      The way I always heard it from multiple dentists is “if you want to keep your friends brush in the morning, if you want to keep your teeth brush at night, best is both.”

        Dentist never heard of a mint?

        Also I thought morning brushing was about teeth because most smells are on the tongue not the teeth unless there’d an abscess or something.

        Does everybody brush/scrape their tongue every morning?
