Will you talk before brushing in the morning? email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 95/100. lordwarwizard (10401)   ranked 340 out of 38,461 in life10 months ago

Most people sleep at least once in a 24-h cycle. When they wake up, they either feel refreshed or as bad as before. But the point here is that they all wake up with bad breath (lol).

I am not talking about those cases of persistent bad breath due to genes, dental problems or poor cleaning habits. Even if you are a goddess trapped in a mortal body, bacteria will probably congregate on your tongue anyway to lay out mats and have picnics. And after finishing all the coke and chips, all the litter will likely be left where it was. After all, bacteria are not known to be too responsible an entity.

The first thing I need to do when I wake up is to rinse my mouth. I refuse to talk until I have done so. If you want to ask me questions, wait until after. It is not that I am scared of repulsing you 10 yards with my breath alone but I don't want to deal with the taste of rusty cans and soiled plastic wrappers left overnight by the bacteria.

I do know people who never brush their teeth. Well they do brush but they tend to be on the thrifty side. So assuming you do brush your teeth at least once daily, will you talk before brushing in the morning? Yes? No? Who cares?

As life would have it, I don't as a rule have anyone here that I must talk too before removing the picnic leftovers from my mouth. Dragon breath as I call it can be pretty severe at times, but I do overcome in due course. It is just as offensive to me as it would be to any I happened to speak to so I do head for the mouth rinse as soon as possible.

Not really that you need to talk to anyone. But for me, sometimes when I walk up, another might ask me a question. I won't want to answer them till I have at least rinsed my mouth. Or if the response can be abbreviated, I will just nod or shake my head or make weird guttural sounds.

I'll talk before brushing my teeth but not if I'm close to someone. First thing I do is drink coffee but I do brush before I eat anything as a rule.

If you drink coffee then it hides the smell so it solves the "problem". happy

i'm just like you. i have to brush my teeth first before i talk in the morning. if i have to talk i just face the other way. i thought i was just being too self conscious so i'm glad to know there are others like me. i just don't like having that 'not so fresh taste' in my mouth. so i just can't understand how some people can have breakfast in bed before they even get out of bed. i wouldn't want to swallow all the bacteria and whatever toxic substances they produced along with the food. it's too gross.


myLot reputation of 95/100. lordwarwizard (10401)   ranked 340 out of 38,461 in life  10 months ago

It feels so gross when you talk without first rinsing. Anyway your throat is usually dry when you first wake up so I want to moisturize it first. lol

You are then very much like me, I also do not speak until I have brushed my teeth and one of my maternal uncle is also like that. I have come across methods of getting toxins out of your body by drinking plenty of water just after you get up and before brushing teeth too but I just can not do it, toxins or no toxins. I loved the expression rusty cans and soiled plastic wrappers of bacteria. Thats cute way of putting it.


myLot reputation of 95/100. lordwarwizard (10401)   ranked 340 out of 38,461 in life  10 months ago

Yup, you either rinse or you drink up first - either way, the bacteria either go out or in LOL.

I heard of the drinking water before brushing after you wake thingy. I have in fact been doing it these past few days. happy

Thanks for reading my discussion fully and enjoying it. Most people never do and it kinda breaks my heart (they take effort to write lol). blush

I brush my teeth twice a day. But I don't mind to talk to other before brushing in the morning, unless I stand so close to others.
My husband tells me that usually I don't have bad breath when I wake up. That's quite true.

Good day! Happy myLotting:))

Yes, I'll always talk before brushing my teeth, whatever time of day, because I'm the only one here to talk to! Ha ha ha. I don't have the problem of smelling my own breath. However, it does make you feel better to brush, and refresh your mouth.

Brightest Blessings, my friend.


myLot reputation of 95/100. lordwarwizard (10401)   ranked 340 out of 38,461 in life  10 months ago

Haha, it's not so much about the breath, I just don't like the pre-rinse taste. rasp


myLot reputation of 98/100. Darkwing (7519)   ranked 5 out of 38,461 in life  10 months ago

Lol... well open your mouth and let the fresh air in then, by talking! rasp

Hi, lordwarwizard!! I don't rinse my mouth out just as soon as I get up on the mornings, but I do brush my teeth with Crest Nighttime. It leaves my teeth cleaned all day. I love the feeling.. I don't like bad breath either. And I will do all that I can to avoind it too. I usually will brush my teeth in the mornings after getting settled for the day.. And I will use Listerine's Total Care or Act Restoring Mouthwash..


myLot reputation of 95/100. lordwarwizard (10401)   ranked 340 out of 38,461 in life  10 months ago

Well, maybe MORNING breath is more apt but I wrote BAD breath for effect. Mine bad. I floss and brush before bed too. rasp

I don't have anyone to talk to, so it doesn't matter. Besides, I brush my teeth before bed and I don't think my mouth is all that gross. I don't brush until after breakfast. No one has ever said that I've had bad breath even in the middle of the day.


myLot reputation of 95/100. lordwarwizard (10401)   ranked 340 out of 38,461 in life  10 months ago

As in, I would hate to talk on the phone even unless I have at least rinsed my mouth. lol
