Why do we have to brush teeth in the morning?

Brush teeth at night is to clean up what you have eaten in the day.
But why morning you have to brush again when you didn’t eat anything?

Why does Morning Breath happen?
Your saliva flow slows down or can even stop. This means that there is less buffering of bacteria, less oxygen input, less tongue movement. These are all signals to anaerobic bacteria to begin breeding. During the course of one night’s sleep you can manufacture two generations of new bacteria and their waste products, the Volatile Sulphur Compounds.
Mucus in the nasal areas thicken. When this happens the mucus can attach quite tenaciously to the nasal walls making removal difficult. This nasal mucus is high in protein and is an excellent food source for "Morning Breath" bacteria.
Your tongue falls to the back of your throat. This action allows easy colonisation of the dorsum (back) of the tongue surface. That is why when you wake in the morning, you not only have a bad or sour taste and breath, but you can also exhibit a coating on your tongue. This coating can be yellow or white depending on its severity and the amount of sulphur contained.

  4. Throughout the night when the mouth is closed, we still continue to produce saliva, which when mixed with bacteria, can have an oder. This is where the "morning breath" comes from, hence the need to brush!

  16. As you have mentioned, the mouth will still smell nif you haven’t eaten anything…… so you brush your teeth, which leave a fresh smell…..also, during the night, the saliva in your mouth coats your teeth, and a coat of germs grow on it…..this is stinky……so you brush your teeth, and the detergent in the tooth paste celans your mouth as well……
