Even if you brush, floss & use mouthwash before going to sleep?

There are billions of bacteria and other microbes in your mouth, even after you brush, floss and mouthwash. While you’re awake, you brush, eat food and do other stuff that’ll basically cause you to swallow bunches of them.
But at night they’re free to just eat and reproduce unimpeded. And bacteria reproduce every few hours. If those 20 billion just reproduce twice during a night that goes from 20 to 40 and from 40 to 80 billion in the space of one night. And that’s just the bacteria.
Not only are they reproducing, they’re also eating and anything that eats… well, let’s just say that your breath smells by morning because you got a 80 billion bacteria and they all shit in your mouth.
