The idea of brushing the teeth before going to bed is highly underrated. The reason why a lot of emphases is laid on brushing before going to bed and after waking up is to deal with the response of the bacteria residing in the mouth in relation to the food particles that stick in our mouth.

Acidic components in the mouth can a lay a foundation of the plaque which has the capability of damaging enamel of the tooth resulting in a dental cavity. Hence, it’s very important to brush your teeth twice as a precaution against cavity.
