Is it bad to brush my teeth then eat then go to bed?!


Question: I always hear people say "oh I can't eat I just brushed my teeth". Well... does it matter if you brushed your teeth then eat then go to bed? Isn't it like waking up brushing your teeth then eating? Nothing crazy about this question, I'm just curious do you get some kind of cavity or something...

Bacteria have the potential to do more damage at night during sleep. You have given them a great meal, and since you are not producing as much saliva or swallowing as frequently during sleep they can do greater damage per unit time then when you are awake. Clean your mouth throughly before going to sleep!

Yes, because the food particles left in your mouth create bacteria that eats away at your tooth enamel and cause decay; not to mention gum problems and bad breath. You should brush after eating and before you go to bed.

YOU SHOULD AT LEAST RINSE YOUR MOUTH WITH WATER BEFORE GOING TO BED SO THE FOOD IS NOT JUST SITTING ON YOUR ENAMEL ESPECIALLY SUGARS
