What do experts say?
Health expert Dr. Sandesh Mayekar says that if you sleep after brushing your teeth at night, then there is no need to brush in the morning, but you must brush after breakfast. Doctors say that brushing after breakfast is important because the food stuck in the teeth remains in the mouth for 12 hours and it causes harm to you. It is important to brush your teeth before breakfast, because if you drink hot water after brushing before sleeping at night, it produces good bacteria in the mouth, which are considered good for health.
