There are still people who claim that they should brush their teeth once a day and many of them have chosen this time to be in the morning. If you are wondering if it is a good or bad habit to brush your teeth only once a day and if you occasionally fall asleep without brushing your teeth, here is the truth according to specialists.

Setting aside brushing your teeth at dinner is a big NO. One dentist even says that going to bed without brushing your teeth is like going to bed with m ... in your mouth. This is an extreme analogy, but it shows that at dinner you have in your mouth a considerable amount of bacteria that have accumulated there from the food of the day. These bacteria also form layers one after the other, causing problems with the teeth and gums. Food waste contains a lot of acid, which is known to damage tooth enamel and lead to root rot and other damage.

The American Dental Association recommends brushing your teeth at least twice a day, and one of those times is before bed. Brushing your teeth eliminates bacteria and prevents many of the dangers that come from their accumulation. Dentists recommend brushing your teeth when you wake up and before you go to sleep.

If you have a bad habit of sleeping without brushing your teeth or you are lazy, try holding a dental floss near the bed, or a toothbrush (dry, without toothpaste). It's better than nothing.
