It’s no secret that brushing your teeth is important for your oral health. But what happens if you don’t brush your teeth? The answer can be broken down into two main areas: Decay of your teeth and gum disease. Without brushing, plaque and bacteria will build up on your teeth, leading to tooth decay that starts as a cavity. Similarly, this buildup of plaque can lead to tartar and gum disease, which can cause bad breath, tooth loss, and even death. This article will take a closer look at what happens when you don’t brush your teeth and the associated risks.

There is a big debate in the morning about when you should brush your teeth: before or after breakfast? Some people say that brushing your teeth before eating will help remove any bacteria from your mouth and give you a fresh breath in the morning. Others say that it is better to brush your teeth after breakfast, so that you can remove any sugar and plaque that has built up overnight. Truthfully, most research doesn’t have a consensus one way or the other. At the end of the day, brushing before or after breakfast doesn’t matter as long as you remember to do it consistently. This is because the reason that most people get cavities and other dental problems is because of forgetting to brush or not brushing properly, not necessarily what order they brush in. This article will go over both sides of the debate, so you can make an informed decision about when it is best to brush your teeth.
