No amount of brushing, flossing, or mouthwashing will kill every bit of bacteria or remove every last bit of food in your mouth, so overnight, many bacteria regrow and with your mouth going unused and pretty dry all night, they can flourish. They also live in plaque and release acid if you eat something, which can destroy your enamel.
