Brushing at night matters more than most people realize
During the day, saliva can help wash away food, bacteria, and acids. But while we sleep? Saliva flow drops way down… which means cavity-causing bacteria get to hang out on the teeth all night long 😅
So if kids go to bed with milk, juice, snacks, or plaque sitting on their teeth, it’s basically an overnight sugar party for bacteria 🦠
