Brushing your teeth right after waking up is great!

I saw a post from a dentist saying that "brushing your teeth right after waking up improves your oral environment and reduces bad breath." So, for over half a year now, I've been brushing my teeth, even lightly, as soon as I wake up. Just as the dentist said, my noticeable bad breath has been suppressed, and the condition of my gums has visibly improved! Before, when I was feeling unwell, my gums would often turn red, get itchy, or become inflamed. But since I started brushing my teeth in the morning, inflammation has drastically decreased, and my gums have maintained a healthy pink color. If you're in a hurry, I think even just rinsing your mouth can have some effect. Apparently, while you're awake, saliva helps suppress bacteria in your mouth, but when you're sleeping, saliva production decreases, allowing bacteria to multiply, which causes bad breath and worsens your oral environment... They say it's more important than brushing after meals! The shocking part for me was the expression: "Your mouth is dirtier than a toilet when you wake up." 🫠 I thought it was a strong statement, but I probably wouldn't have paid attention if they hadn't put it so drastically. You can enjoy your meals more, so definitely give "morning brushing" a try 😉💕
