Should You Brush Your Teeth Before Going To Bed?

By Chet Sandeksi


Everyday Americans visit their dentist office and the usual counsel from the dental hygienist or from the dentists themselves is to keep up with one's daily brushing and flossing. For some, this counsel comes as a stinging reminder of their lackadaisical approach to their dental health while for others it comes as a refreshing reminder of what they already do.

John, 43, single, electrical engineer: "Uh, well I guess that depends on what you ate for dinner. If you ate something really smelly like spicy octopus or something it would probably be a good idea to brush before you sleep. I mean, who wants sticky, smelly chunks of tentacle in their mouth all night? But if you just ate some cornflakes or something, I don't think you need to worry."

Those who see their dentist in Lincoln, NE, will be reminded of this as their dentist in Lincoln, NE, is a proponent of using mouthwash due to the overall health effects that mouthwashes bring to a person's oral health.

Eddie, 7, single, second grader: "We should brush our teeth every day probably more than once or twice because it's good for you. Miss Frizzle went into a mouth and looked at all the yucky stuff that was in the mouth and the yucky stuff was attacking the teeth and making holes and bad stuff like that and if we don't brush we will have the yucky stuff in out mouth too and it's bad. Except I don't like to, so sometimes I don't. Don't tell my mommy."

Mildred, 79, widowed, rest home poker champion: "You see this here? These are my dentures. I have them because I didn't brush often enough. So brush unless you want to end up like me kiddo."

Jared, 26, single, unemployed college graduate: "Yes. Absolutely. Brush your teeth every day, morning and night for at least two minutes. It will keep your teeth healthy and white, improve your breath, and increase your chances with the ladies. Trust me - no one wants to kiss, date, or even flirt with someone who has bad teeth. Bad teeth just won't fly man. So brush!"

The first universal benefit of mouthwash is that it will help to rinse out larger particles of stuck food from the mouth that could otherwise fester and promote gum or tooth decay. While this general benefit of mouthwashes could likewise be accomplished by simply swishing water around the mouth, the other two benefits of mouthwashes make using mouthwash the clear choice over swishing water.

Dr. Abram, 51, married, dentist: "It is important that everyone brushes twice a day. It is essential to brush at night because your mouth will dry out during the night causing bacteria to fix to your teeth, damaging the enamel. Nighttime is the perfect breeding time for oral bacteria. You don't want them making a home in your mouth overnight."

In a similar benefit, the third value of using a mouthwash on a regular basis is that the aid of the mouthwash boosts the effectiveness of the standard brushing a flossing. This is because brushing and flossing may break up plaque buildup and clean away harmful bacteria from its location on the tooth, but these same germs can replant themselves on different locations within the mouth and on different teeth if not killed and rinse by mouthwash.
