10 Great Reasons To Keep Your Teeth Clean

4. Help Lose Weight

It may sound silly, but brushing one’s teeth can trigger the mentality that it is time to stop eating for the day. If a person gets into the routine of brushing after their last meal, then eating again would mean having to brush again which is not an ideal plan. Once a routine is established, the idea of eating after brushing will become less appealing, making late-night snacking less desirable.

On top of this, food tends to taste differently after brushing. If a cookie craving kicks in, but the taste is assured to be different than expected, a person is far less likely to enjoy it.
