    Not really. Mouthwash as well before bed. Never struggle with odor. And I wear a night guard to boot.

    Edit: oh and a tongue scraper helps

      Morning breath is caused by bacteria replicating overnight so even if you use mouthwash and a tongue scraper before bed, I promise you have morning breath. I’ve tested it myself with my wife by doing all sorts of hygiene before bed. Floss, water rince, tongue cleaning, brush, then mouthwash but still my breath smelled in the morning. Its just a fact of reality. Please brush your teeth in the morning for those of us that end up smelling your breath.

        People have wildly varying body chemistry. Your experience is not everyone’s experience.

        I am like him and have had that experience confirmed by numerous romantic partners over the decades.
