What Happens When you Stop Brushing your Teeth

The healthcare industry has taken a huge leap into the unknown this year.  The situation has made all kinds of healthcare related treatments difficult.  So when dental issues occur it is so much more difficult depending on what state you are in to get treatment.  Some dental location were actually shutdown due to current sanrio.  So it is important to keep up with your dental healthcare. But what happens if you don't? Will your teeth fall out like all the horror stories say or is there a period of safety in between all the not brushing happening. 

When a Dentist was asked the question of what would happen if you stopped brushing the answer was hilarious and vague, "Probably nothing good".  The short answer is that if you stop brushing the bad things will indeed start happening.  Tooth decay will set in and happen more rapidly than if you had not stopped brushing your teeth.  This means that cavities will then start to form and tooth decay will be in full bloom.  One of the tail tell signs of this is the constant bad breath that will happen in your mouth.  The fact is that tooth decay has a bad smell and simply won't go away with mouthwash

The next stage of not brushing can lead to more than simply tooth decay.  The next section of issues can be the inevitable gum disease. The real danger is that when you are letting bacteria build up it is causing other issues as well.  The bacteria can get into your gums and move into your bloodstream.  This can cause lots of issues because it may cause your immune system to kick into overdrive and the sky is the limit on problems that may occur.  This means that the dirty bacteria filled mouth due to not brushing has been linked to things like, heart attacks, respiratory diseases, and even MRSA.

 

The reality is that everyone is different and each person who would stop brushing their teeth could have one and not the other within a year.  It is possible to have both and have a double struggle and the cost of this could be really devastating for the repairs that may be needed.  The main issue is that these issues cause a whole lot of pain.  Now the amount of pain can vary between person to person, but most people are willing to pay a lot of money to get rid of it.  That says a lot especially when multiple surgeries may be involved.

 

The key to the whole thing is to simply not stop brushing your teeth. This can keep you from a whole lot of issues physically and financially.  This all comes into play in the year that it is as well. Getting dental work done can be even more complicated with the rules and regulations put in place for dentists.  This also can mean that you may have to have longer wait times in order to be able to get your dental work done.  So stay on a normal brushing routine and don't just let your teeth go.  The cost of buying toothpaste and the time it takes each day is absolutely worth not having the issues that can occur by not brushing. So contact your healthcare provider and stay safe.
