I read that eating cheese before bedtime was better for the health of one's teeth than brushing. Any opinions?

Question

It's something about the enzymes have a protective bacterial coating for the teeth...

Of course, it's not recommended if you intend to be kissing someone soon after you retire...

It was not published by the makers of toothpaste, but by an independent, scientific, dental study...

Not all cultures in the world brush their teeth by the way...

Answer 1

Yes cheese's beneficial effect may be explained in part by its texture,
which increases saliva flow. This in turn reduces the increase in
cavity-causing acids by plaque bacteria and increases the clearance of
sugars from the oral cavity. Components of cheese such as protein,
calcium, and phosphorus may prevent acid demineralization and enhance
remineralization of tooth enamel. The protective effect of cheese
against dental caries may also be explained by an antibacterial effect
of components in cheese

Answer 2

Eating cheese would be good for your teeth and bones due to the extra calcium in your diet.

Eating it and then not brushing your teeth would encourage the organisms that cause tooth decay in your mouth to consume the simple sugars and fats in the cheese stuck in your teeth. This would obviously increase tooth decay.
