You’ve probably dealt with morning breath at some point in your life. Some plaque-causing bacteria increase during sleep, so when you wake up in the morning, you have a foul taste and odour in your mouth. Brushing your teeth first thing in the morning helps get rid of the plaque and bacteria that have been building up overnight. It also creates a protective layer for your teeth as you eat breakfast.
- If possible, wait between 30 minutes and an hour after breakfast before cleaning your teeth to avoid damaging your protective enamel.
- If cleaning your teeth after breakfast is more convenient for you, that should be fine
- Brushing your teeth as soon as you wake up can assist in removing the dangerous plaque and bacteria from your teeth.
