Can I skip brushing my teeth one night?

Published in Oral Hygiene 1 min read

No, it's not recommended to skip brushing your teeth, even for one night.

The American Dental Association (ADA) advises brushing your teeth twice a day because skipping brushing, especially before bed, encourages the growth of bacterial buildup in the form of plaque. This buildup can lead to:

  • Cavities
  • Gum disease

Therefore, to maintain optimal oral health, consistently brushing your teeth is crucial.
