Everyone knows from childhood that you need to brush your teeth twice a day and rinse your mouth after eating.

While brushing your teeth in the evening after dinner or before going to bed does not raise any questions, not everyone knows when exactly this hygiene procedure should be carried out in the morning.

Some people believe that you should brush your teeth immediately after waking up.

Others say that it is better to do this after breakfast.
