Do you brush your teeth before bed?

We are thought by our parents and teachers to brush our teeth before. Of course, it is a healthy habit. But sometimes, when you're home from work, eat dinner, watch tv or dvd, you felt more exausted and felt so sleepy. Do you still remember to do it..to brush your teeth before bed?

I still do brush my teeth no matter how tired I am at night - I guess we all should. Brushing our teeth before bed eliminates the germs that have accumulated in our mouth [but not virtually all germs though]. When we are asleep, our salivary glands 'sleep' too, so nothing in our mouth can kill those germs when we're sleeping - this is the reason why we have what we commonly call 'morning breath'. So if we dont brush before bed, then MORE germs would be there present in our mouth and that wouldn't do us any good.

Yes I brush daily after dinner. It is must for all of us to keep the teeth healthy. Most of us are working class people so there will be tiredness sure, but when we make anything a practice, we can spare time for it. Initiallly it may be uneasy. Just like we watch TV, do other thinks likewise we must make a practice of brushing daily. It is 5 minutes job, so no time problem, it is just mental problem I think. Make your mind for anything and do it as per schedule.
