    The way I always heard it from multiple dentists is “if you want to keep your friends brush in the morning, if you want to keep your teeth brush at night, best is both.”

      Dentist never heard of a mint?

      Also I thought morning brushing was about teeth because most smells are on the tongue not the teeth unless there’d an abscess or something.

      Does everybody brush/scrape their tongue every morning?

        I mean, I can’t speak for everyone, but I do.

        Eating a mint to deal with bad breath seems like the equivalent of a 15 year old boy dousing himself with Axe body spray to deal with their BO. It doesn’t solve the problem, it just temporarily masks it, and usually to a lesser degree than you think or hope.
