Brushing one’s teeth every morning is a practice we all follow. However, the key to ideal oral hygiene is to brush your teeth once in the morning and once at bedtime. The truth is that the germ build-up that occurs at night is far worse than what our teeth are exposed to during the day.

At night, the salivary flow in our mouth is low and the germs that remain in our mouth overnight produce an acid that may lead to tooth decay. Therefore, it is important that we, especially children, brush our teeth before we sleep in order to maintain sound oral care.
