Why do people brush their teeth first thing in the morning? - Lemmy.world

The way I’m used to it is: 1. Wake up 2. Breakfast 3. Brush teeth. Having it as 1, 3, 2 doesn’t make sense for me.

I wear a night guard for tooth grinding and I take a sublingual sleeping pill every night, so my mouth feels kind of mulchy after I get up. Also I get first shower and I best hustle through getting ready or my husband will be in there shitting for thirty minutes and I’ll be late for work.
