I am pretty religious about my oral hygiene. I have a cheap electric toothbrush and run that thing for like 4 minutes on the bottom row and same for top each night. Usually watch a YouTube video while I do it. Then floss and fluoride mouthwash. Don’t always brush in the am though. Figure if I do a good enough job at night then morning rushing is just a formality. Also I fast during the day so not like there’s any food bits getting in there till the evening when I eat. Dentists has few complaints about my teeth so I figure I’m doing ok.
I used to think the same about brushing in the morning, but it does serve a purpose. The bacteria in the mouth will start to create an acidic environment after a certain amount of time (16 hours, I think), which isn’t great for the enamel. So a brush within in this window disrupts that buildup.
