Top of Texas Gazette: Brush to Banish Billions of Bacteria

March 1, 2014

Depending upon the last time you brushed your teeth, there is often more bacteria in your mouth than there are people in the world. (over 7 billion)

Alison said...: It sure feels like it has 7Million when I wake up sometimes ! YUK . I think we all know the feeling of that especially if we have had colds/sinus problems etc. I was shocked at some article I read someplace that told us how many flies/insects whatever we actually take into our mouths when we sleep with it open . Guess the mouthwash is always a good thing last at night and first in the morning .; March 1, 2014 at 3:02 PM
Mike said...: I used to date a very pretty young lady who had atrocious breath a lot of the time, and I think her problems were more internal than in her mouth. (her teeth were good and I know she often brushed)

I've heard that about the bugs going into your mouth, too. I think people would really freak out if they knew how many insect parts were allowed to be in our food; doesn't bother me b/c I just put it out of my mind.

Thanks f/ posting!; March 1, 2014 at 9:12 PM
