Question:

When I wake up in the morning i have this horrible taste in my mouth...?

only sometimes though and brushing teeth before bed helps but not much how can i get rid/prevent this taste?


Answers:

Do you sleep with your mouth open? This can dry out the mouth and leave a funny taste because the washing action of the saliva slows down at night and more so if you are a "mouth breather". It's the bacteria in your mouth not being washed away that can cause the odour/taste. The other possibility is gastro-intestinal reflux? Most people have "morning" breath so just ensure you brush thoroughly before bed & floss too (dont forget to brush your tongue - gently though or you'll damage your taste buds) and brush when you wake up. Try a mouthwash if you like. Also keep your fluids up.
