Have you ever thought about what happens to your teeth while you’re sleeping? As a matter of fact, there are many things that do indeed happen to your teeth as you sleep. There is clear science behind the phenomenon known as morning breath. This condition happens because bacteria in the mouth is set up for ideal conditions so that it can reproduce quickly at night. As bacteria increases bad breath or halitosis also increases. One of the best ways to avoid this problem is to simply brush right before bed. One major concern with regard to what happens to your mouth at night as you sleep is that saliva production reduces substantially. This is a natural response that helps to promote good sleep by reducing swallowing. However, while this is good for sleep it is not good for the mouth. Lower levels of saliva mean that bacteria are able to thrive and multiply. This is again another reason it is absolutely essential to brush thoroughly and floss right before bedtime. At the end of the day, cleaning your teeth thoroughly right before bed and upon awakening is one of the best ways to maintain top levels of dental health and wellness at all times. Floss thoroughly each night including the back teeth. Brush your teeth with a soft brush and consider even cleaning your tongue with the tongue scraper. Another good tip is to use antiseptic mouthwash that is alcohol free.  Dr. Deepak Kamalanathan, one of the leading prosthodontists in Chennai, brings years of experience in advanced dental care to his flourishing practice at Apple Dental.
