One must be careful not to swallow food remnants stuck between the teeth. Therefore, it is advisable to use a miswak and clean the mouth and teeth after so that the fast is not invalidated. This is desirable for the fasting person. Cleaning the mouth is not obligatory, whether one sleeps before or not.
