How serious is morning breath? Waking up with a bad taste and smell in your mouth doesn't necessarily mean you have a chronic malodor problem. Morning breath is temporary and disappears after breakfast and a thorough toothbrushing. What causes it? As the body runs out of carbohydrate food sources overnight, it obtains energy through the breakdown of proteins, which attract mouth bacteria. Making matters worse, saliva slows to a halt when we're asleep; plus, the jaws and mouth muscles stay pretty much put, leaving leftover food debris to molder and attract bacteria. (No matter how well you brush, some food morsels always remain between the teeth). Beautiful Teeth, Premiere Issue/Summer 2003 p.44. Kissing is good for your teeth. By stimulating the saliva flow that neutralizes the acid produced by oral bacteria, it helps reduce the incidence of cavities. Beautiful Teeth, Premiere Issue/Summer 2003 p.44.
