Almost everyone has bad breath first thing in the morning. During the day, movement of the tongue and cheeks dislodges food debris and dead cells, and these are washed away by saliva. While we are asleep our tongue and cheeks do not move much, and the flow of saliva is reduced. The food residues stagnate in the mouth, and mouth bacteria rapidly break them down, releasing an unpleasant stale smell. Breathing through the mouth when sleeping tends to make this worse. Fortunately, morning breath normally disappears after breakfast, cleaning the teeth or rinsing the mouth with water. Get your saliva going with a drink of water and lemon.

There is no other way but to brush your teeth, tongue, and gargle with some mouthwash. I wish there was a cure for morning breath.

Dry mouth. Saliva helps cleanse and moisten your mouth. A dry mouth enables dead cells to accumulate on your tongue, gums and cheeks. These cells then decompose and cause odor. Dry mouth naturally occurs during sleep. It's what causes "morning breath." Dry mouth is even more of a problem if you sleep with your mouth open. Some medications as well as smoking can lead to a chronic dry mouth, as can a problem with your salivary glands.
And some suggestions:

Dry mouth could reason "morning breath". lifeless cells sustains on your tongue, in case you haven't any longer have been given any saliva. often it occurs for the duration of sleep (exceptionally in case you sleep with open mouth), that's what motives "morning breath". the base line is to discover the thank you to give up the production of VSC’s (risky sulfur compounds) for the duration of the nighttime as you're asleep. one way could be to boost the production of saliva in the lower back of your throat and mouth for the duration of the nighttime. yet it is amazingly complicated to do – in spite of everything, you’re asleep! and those people who're mouth breathers are drying out the lower back of our throats with each and every breath that we take via the nighttime. do no longer give up brushing your enamel until eventually now sleep, in spite of if it won't avert "morning breath". once you awaken do it lower back. and for sure there are countless extraordinary products you are able to desire to purchase besides.

Bacteria thrive in your mouth at night, and why not--it's a moist, dark environment. Try using a paste made of baking soda and peroxide, don't forget to floss to get between teeth!!

you probably have buildup under the gums ... flossing may help with some of it, but you will probably have to go to the dentist to get it cleaned out.
