Wouldn’t it be nice to just wake up with minty fresh breath? Unfortunately, morning breath is an side effect of being human.
You can think of saliva as your mouth’s natural mouthwash, and at night its production decreases. Without that saliva washing bacteria away, at night it breaks down food particles stuck between your teeth, along your gum tissue, and on your tongue – resulting in morning breath.
However, persistent long-term mouth odor – even after you’ve brushed your teeth – can be the sign of a more serious problem. If this is the case, be sure to talk to your dentist during your next appointment.
The cure? Brush your teeth for two minutes in the morning and at night!
