For Anyone Who Sleeps A Ton!! Depressed Ppl Chronically Fatigued Folk, And Fellow Narcoleptics:

For anyone who sleeps a ton!! Depressed ppl chronically fatigued folk, and fellow narcoleptics:

You need to be brushing your teeth more than the average person to prevent plaque buildup, tooth decay, and gum disease.

This is because saliva production is much more active when you're awake than when you're asleep. Ever woke up with a dry mouth? That's why. Saliva protects our teeth from the acid our mouths naturally produce. Less saliva means less defense against than acid, which can break down the protective layer of tooth enamel.

So! Us chronically sleeping ppl need to be brushing our teeth more to balance out the fact that we're sleeping more.
