Are you people with yucky-tasting mouths brushing in the evening? None of you
seem to me to be prone to hongovers, and that's the only thing I have heard of
that could make your mouth taste bad, apart from leftover food...

Yes, I brush and floss just before bedtime. It still tastes yucky in the
morning.

dehydration can cause a yucky tasting mouth in the morning.
drinking alcohol causes some dehydration, which is why
hangovers tend to come with "yucky mouth", but many people
simply don't drink enough water & are constantly dehydrated.
also, mouth breathing causes a dry mouth.
OTOH, lots of people don't floss & those remaining food
particles between the teeth (because brushing won't remove
those) can give you a horrid yucky mouth by morning, plus
really bad decay in places that require extra drilling...

I floss, brush and use mouthwash before bed at night. But I sleep
with my mouth open due to many years of a clogged nose due to
allergies. That dries out my mouth.

I brush and floss before going to bed as well. Irrespective of that, I
don't feel that the mouth is clean enough in the morning to eat before
I brush again. Morning breath is never as fresh as after you brush.
Even if you brush before going to bed. May be I just have a sensitive
nose.

Have you tried those Breathe-Right nose strips? My allergies have gotten a
lot worse in recent years, and with our maple trees exploding out front (and
DH insisting on open windows at night to save on AC costs) , he's had to
poke me awake at night because I'm gasping for air. I tried the strips a few
nights ago and the difference is amazing - I sleep all night, he isn't
poking me, and I wake up without the feeling that I've just eaten the Sahara
Desert.

Thanks, but no I haven't. I don't have a clogged nose - I just have
the habit of mouth breathing when I'm asleep because I did have a
clogged nose for so many years.

Maybe you should try a Chin-Up Strip (same concept, but for the mouth).

I cant stand the taste of many foods and water before I brush in the
morning. I just know that mint tooth paste followed by OJ isnt that great
tasting either.. I think it is a personal preferance thing.

My husband uses them, he says it is helping him to breath better, but he
still snores horribly.
