Midnight Snack and my teeth?!
Question: Now i've often wondered about this, like most pointless questions in life: before bed, i brush my teeth like a "normal" person then call it a night. I might fall asleep for a few hours before waking up and realizing i've got the sleep-induced munchies..ooo what to do what to do!. Herein lies the dilemma... when i have the midnight snack, taking into consideration the havoc my choice would wreck on my teeth, is it better to indulge on something sweet or something meaty? ya i know I'm supposed to brush my teeth after meals but c'mon it 2am!!!

Avoid the sugar but still take the time to at least rise with mouthwash or brush your teeth afterwards. I'll take you an extra minute and may save you from a cavity/tooth decay as a result...
