what causes bad breath at night?

Hi lovelyeyes,

While we sleep, our brain knows that we aren’t chewing so it decreases the saliva production in our mouths. This leads to dry mouth, which is prime breeding ground for the production of volatile sulfur compounds that cause bad breath. Snoring or breathing through your mouth while you sleep doesn’t help this either, as this dries your mouth out even more.

There’s a video that explains it more in detail and what we can do to treat it here: http://blog.therabreath.com/2010/08/how-to-prevent-morning-breath/

I hope this helps!

Do you have skunks in your yard at night?

I like to be kind to all animals, but those skunks sure have bad breath.

Skunks and rabbits, squirrels and deer, raccoons and then there are the coyotes howling at night.
Good: It’s fun to see these critters and snap photos, the grandkids get excited seeing them, especially when they spot them first.
Bad: The skunks stink, the rabbits eat lettuce, the squirrels chatter and eat the nuts, the deer eat the garden before we can harvest it, the raccoons make messes, and the coyotes make a whole lot of noise at late night.
All in all I love living in the country and the beauty out here. So with the critters eating up gardens, I don’t have to hoe and week, I simply go to the farmer’s market.
