   you have to brush right before bed and you will see the difference. Bactria breed in your mouth when there is food there more then normal

   Because during the night your body rests and you don’t drink when your asleep so that is why your mouth is dry and you have bad breath. and also it is because you breath heavily when you are asleep.. i know because i learnt it at school

   Basically saliva production is slowed during sleep. Saliva is acidic and helps slow down the production of bacteria. When you’re asleep and saliva production is greatly decreased, which means bacteria can be produced much faster than when you’re awake.

   Treatment
   In many cases, people find that common mouthwashes and breath mints and sprays are useful enough to combat their ongoing problem.

   But for others these solutions don’t cut it, and their unshakable condition creates high levels of stress and anxiety and low levels of self-esteem
   as they interact with others in their daily lives. It may make them less inclined to socialize with others, affect their professional lives as they
   intermingle with co-workers, and can create embarrassment in their dating situations and love lives. In short, it affects sufferers from the time
   they awaken until the time they fall asleep. It has debilitating effects upon their quality of life.

   The MAIN Reason:
   Their quandary arises from the buildup of too many volatile sulfur
   compounds (VSCs) that form below saliva on the back of the tongue as a result of the breakdown of proteins in the oral cavity at the hands of
   an aerobic bacteria. The most nefarious of the more than 2,000 oral bacteria sometimes produce the rotten-egg smell of hydrogen sulfide, the
   fecal smell of methyl mercaptan, and—less frequently—the rotting-corpse scent of cadaverine, or the rotting-meat odor of putrescine. Obviously,
   such malodor can be tough to take.

   everyone experiences to have morning breath when they wake up. this is because when we are asleep, saliva action is less in the mouth.

   remind yourself to have proper oral hygiene like proper brushing and flossing. do this every after meal to remove plaque and food debris that i stuck between teeth that tend to rot and can cause bad breath. also, drink loads of water to keep the mouth hydrated and can keep bad bacteria at minimum.

   If you don’t keep teeth and gums free of the bacterial buildup, they’ll start to cause odor as the bacteria rot leftover food particles in your mouth. More useful remedies at
