What Happens If You Stop Brushing Your Teeth

What if you stopped brushing your teeth? Would your teeth fall out, or would you be OK? In fact, there is a way to get pearly whites at the end of a year without brushing. It involves taking care of your teeth with some alternative methods. One of them is eating certain foods. Apples are a great choice because they’re an alkaline fruit and take the stains off the teeth. Sweet potatoes can help whiten teeth; strawberries contain malic acid, which can help prevent gum inflammation.

Over time, this bacteria would spread to your tongue and gums as well. During a year of no brushing, you’d likely be suffering from swollen and tender gums. If your teeth are carrying a ton of bacteria, plaque, and tartar, you can expect your gums to bleed from time to time. Your mouth would smell like that 365 days of the year. There would be no escaping onion or coffee breath or the scent from smoking. Your teeth would be carrying food particles, and that would produce bacteria that is potent in odor. Minerals like calcium and phosphate are necessary to keep your enamel strong and prevent tooth decay. After a year, it’s likely that none of your teeth would be too demineralized to actually fall out, but you would be on the way to losing your enamel and the bones that support your teeth. You wouldn’t have to worry about bad breath if you used mouthwash. Your breath could stay minty fresh all day! Your mouthwash could also help prevent cavities and fight gum disease if it contains alcohol and chlorhexidine. Flossing is more important than brushing. If you stopped brushing for a long time but continued to floss, you’d save your teeth from any plaque buildup between the teeth and right by the gums. The best way to prevent cavities is not to brush but to avoid eating sugar and other simple carbohydrates. You don’t need a toothbrush and whitening toothpaste for your teeth to be pearly white. You simply have to stay away from foods that are acidic and lower your mouth’s ph levels and veer toward foods that are high in alkaline content and raise the ph levels. Remember that the safest approach is always to follow the recommendations of the dental community when it comes to taking care of your teeth. According to the ADA, people should brush twice a day.
