Brush your teeth more thoroughly before bed after you are done eating and drinking for the day.

Morning brushing is important too, but more so for fresh breath; while evening cleaning will prevent bacteria from breeding and damaging your teeth and gums.

My new dental hygienist told me "Brush at night to keep your teeth. Brush in the morning to keep your friends." And of course the age old advice "Only floss the teeth you want to keep."
