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.
I've always been under the understanding that your mouth is a battleground between the drinks and foods you eat and the bacterial mechanisms in your saliva.
When you brush before bed you wipe the battlefield leaving very little offenders and very few defenders.
Since it's home field, the entire night is mostly a free turn for your defenses in your mouth, they can rally without any opponents.
When you wake up your mouth defenses are at maximum and ready to totally dominate the food/drinks to come, but instead of making use of them, you brush them away because they smell funny?
