WHY do we have bad breath in the morning?



Germs are always present in the oral cavity. During the night, the salivary flow decreases and therefore the acidity increases. These are favorable conditions for the growth of bacteria that give rise to such bad breath.

❗The situation worsens if you sleep with your mouth open.

Other causes of bad breath include: irregular brushing, use of poor hygiene products, smoking, tooth decay and some digestive diseases.

How much sweets you can eat without harming your health

British doctors believe that the amount of free sugars from food and drinks should not exceed 5% of the daily diet.

This means that the average adult can have no more than 30 g of sugars (that's about 7 cc's) a day.

The American Heart Association recommends no more than 24 g of sugar for women and no more than 36 g, or 9 scoops, for men.

It turns out that you can drink no more than 2 to 3 cups of tea with sugar or less than a can of Coke a day. The latter can have 9 sugar cubes.

The function of the salivary glands clearly

They are a key element in the formation of the food lump☝🏻

Besides, the secretion of saliva stimulates the secretion of gastric juice, and it also partially digests carbohydrates.

Be sure to brush your tongue



Removing plaque from the tongue helps reduce bacteria in the mouth.

Plaque is a breeding ground for pathogens that can cause various diseases.

Tongue cleaning can help you get rid of unpleasant odors, reduce the chance of tooth decay, and improve the taste of food! A clean tongue allows you to experience flavors and tastes more vividly and intensely.

Human teeth are the only part of the body that cannot heal themselves. Teeth are coated in enamel which is not a living tissue.

The way teeth are aligned with braces👆🏻

As we get older, it becomes more and more difficult to restore the correct dental alignment. The optimal age for braces is 14-25 years old. The older you get, the longer the restoration procedure takes.

Root canal treatment

🦷Root canal treatment is a treatment sequence for the infected pulp of a tooth which is intended to result in the elimination of infection and the protection of the decontaminated tooth from future microbial invasion.

Daily toothpaste brushing can help remove surface stains, but professional teeth scaling and polishing treatments are more effective at removing deep stains. If you're serious about professional treatment of your teeth, talk to your dentist or chat with or call Dr. Wale Adeleke On 08033181698

1. Brush your teeth before bedtime.
2. Your saliva is antiseptic and antibacterial.
3. Your saliva secretion reduces at night.
4. This allows bad bacteria to colonize your mouth when you sleep.
5. Brushing before bedtime reduces this bad bacterial growth.
Repost: for others.

Detailed explanation for those who care:

1. Brushing your teeth before bedtime is recommended as part of good oral hygiene.

This helps remove food debris and plaque from your teeth before going to sleep.

2. Saliva contains substances like lysozyme and lactoferrin that have natural antimicrobial properties.

These help inhibit the growth of bacteria in the mouth. 

3. Salivary flow significantly decreases during sleep.

This is called "nocturnal hyposalivation."

The lack of salivary flow leads to less self-clearance and removal of bacteria.

4. With decreased salivary flow at night, there is less dilution and washing away of sugars and acids in the mouth.

This allows cariogenic bacteria like Streptococcus mutans to thrive and produce acids that demineralize tooth enamel.

5. Brushing teeth before bedtime helps remove plaque buildup and reduce the number of oral bacteria, limiting their uninhibited growth while salivary flow is low during sleep.

This protects against caries, gingivitis, and other problems associated with increased oral bacterial load.

In summary, brushing before bed removes bacteria and biofilm to prevent overgrowth when natural salivary defenses are lowered at night.

This maintains better oral health.
