I Ate Breakfast / Brushed My Teeth Then Started Saliva Collection — Should I Start Over?

Updated March 1, 2026

Yes. You should begin collection the next morning. Just rinse the tube with warm water (no soap), allow to air dry, and collect within 20–30 minutes after waking and before eating, drinking, brushing, or flossing your teeth.
