Brush your teeth early so your late night snacks taste minty.

It works for me because I also floss so I force myself not to eat anything because I would be too lazy to brush and floss all over again.

Lots of ppl saying they’ll just go to bed without brushing. My guess is you haven’t been a financially struggling human and had to pay for lots of dental work out of pocket. Not to mention the pain and inconvenience of the procedures and healing. Paying a lot of money to have a healthy functioning mouth puts things in perspective sometimes. Anyway, I also do this to prevent myself from snacking. Hope others can be if it from the tip.

I would just not brush again after I had my midnight snack. My laziness does not work for this 😂

The real LPT is to sleep early or right after brush 😁

Doesn't work. Unless brush right before bed, if I do it "early" toothpaste taste will be mostly gone.

Works for me very well. I do that for about 4 years now and it usually works about 9/10 evenings.

This has worked great for me. I also got a waterpik and it gets out so much stuff my electric toothbrush didn't. I don't want to ruin the work I did so I just dont eat.

I mean I personally brush after every meal if possible (aka if I'm home)

I like that.

I brush my teeth after eating lunch at work too. I’m self conscious when I do it but I do it

Yes because that will stop you from eating when you're hungry lol

Wouldn’t laziness cause to you not brush again after you ate?

Wouldn't work for me because using toothpaste without sodium lauryl sulfate doesn't affect food/drink taste. I'm allergic to SLS and it's been years since I've had my taste altered by toothpaste. I've forgotten the sensation entirely.

I do this and then an hour later before bed while setting up the coffee makes pop a handful of M&Ms in my mouth.
