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.

For me it’s because my mouth tastes terrible and I want that gone asap
Wouldnt your breakfast over power the taste?
Maybe, but I’d have to wait foe breakfast and I want the taste out of my mouth immediately
Do you wash your teeth before going to bed? Not to be rude, just wondering cause I have never woke up with bad breath
Yep, every night. I think there is a huge degree of variance in oral health from person to person that people don’t realize. My teeth are garbage. My friend who drank 2 liters of mountain dew daily and didnt brush his teeth for years has never had a cavity.
