What Happens When You Don’t Brush Your Teeth 🪥

Posted on by brigitteborelsaladin | 68 comments

Now we all know how easy it is to just leave the house without brushing your teeth or go to bed without brushing your teeth because most of the time you think nobody is going to know… well they’re gonna know… they are gonna know!

Before you settle with your decision of not brushing your teeth regularly, please continue reading…

Dental and oral care is a healthy part of our overall health and well-being. Having a poor hygiene doesn’t just mean bad breath or stained, brittle teeth, it can also lead to illnesses like gum disease and more.

It’s important that you brush and floss your teeth every day and twice a day if you can so that you can decrease your chances of having any oral hygiene problems or illnesses caused by it.

Have a look to see what could happen to your teeth if you don’t brush your teeth regularly:

Cavities

 Cavities are the areas of the tooth that have been permanently damaged. Cavities occur when bacteria, food, and acid coat your teeth and form a plaque. This coat then eats away at the enamel on your teeth which leads to a cavity in the long run. 

Gingivitis

This is the earliest stage of gum disease. It’s basically an infection of the tissue around your teeth that is caused by plaque. The plaque builds up and causes gum disease if you skip brushing and flossing as well as use tobacco.

Periodontitis

This is a more advanced type of gum disease which causes tooth loss in adults. This may happen after a long period of not brushing your teeth as the enamel wears off and acids attack your teeth. As it progresses, the infection can spread to your jaw and bones and may even cause an inflammatory response throughout the body.

Sensitive teeth

Teeth sensitivity occurs when your teeth enamel is wearing off from lack of enamel protection. You may find yourself struggling to consume some foods and drinks due to sensitivity. Most of the time sensitive teeth can be treated or managed with a daily oral hygiene regimen. Using a toothpaste that will protect and repair your teeth is very important.

Bad Breath

One of the most obvious signs of poor oral hygiene. Bad breath is caused by a bacterium build up in your mouth from lingering food particles that start to fester and smell. This can be avoided if you floss and brush your teeth every day.

A toothpaste that will guarantee you protection of your teeth from what we consume is Sensodyne Pronamel. Sensodyne Pronamel has created the perfect everyday solution to prevent and protect your teeth from enamel erosion, whilst keeping your teeth white, protected, and extra fresh!
