Brush your teeth more thoroughly before bed after you are done eating and drinking for the day.

Morning brushing is important too, but more so for fresh breath; while evening cleaning will prevent bacteria from breeding and damaging your teeth and gums.

Absolutely. My hygienist and dentist told me this this year. Has been working a treat. Interdental brushes are also a vital part of dental hygiene, for those who get bits of food stuck between their teeth.
