Brushing Teeth is one of the most important daily habits one can do, Have you ever thought what would happen if you never brushed your teeth??
Seems Interesting na; First Let's break down the consequences one can suffer:
1. Plaque and Calculus Aka Tartar buildup
2. Tooth gets Decayed and Forms Cavities.
3. Gum problems may arise (e.g., gingivitis / periodontal problem) in the long run.
4. Bad breath AKA "HALITOSIS"
5. Risk of Cardiac Disease and Overall Health Disease.
WHAT HAPPENS AFTER A WEEK ????
@ After Consumption of a Meal, a Layer of plaque is generally covered in teeth.
@ Bacterial buildup in the Mouth, starts to smell bad (Like rotten food ) after left for long.
@ Your Gums may feel swelled or irritated due to the sticking of food particles in the gingiva.
WHAT HAPPENS AFTER A MONTH ????
@ Now, a layer of plaque is converted into Calculus ( hard and calcified ), which cannot be removed by just brushing.
@ Acid-producing bacteria start eating enamel.
@ Gum starts bleeding due to irritation, and stuck food particles.
@ Noticeable Stains and Calculus seen.
WHAT HAPPENS AFTER 2 MONTH??
@ Increased buildup of plaque and calculus.
@ Cavity starts getting deeper causing sensitivity to having cold and hot food.
@ Gingiva bleeding (Gingivitis ) gets worse, developing pain on brushing.
WHAT HAPPENS AFTER 3 MONTH????
@ Now gingivitis progresses into periodontitis, receding gums pulling away from the teeth, and formation of pockets in the gingiva.
@ Teeth start to get loosened due to the pulling away of gum and slowly detaching from bone.
@ Pain intensity increases as well as gingival swelling.
@ Tooth decay may deepen more.
WHAT HAPPENS AFTER 6 MONTHS OF BRUSHING ???
@ Tooth decay becomes severe and may lead to root canal treatment/removal of teeth.
@ loosening of the tooth becomes worse and leads to tooth loss.
@ Difficulty in speaking and eating due to pain and irritation.
@ Health condition can even worsen if u have an underlying disease due to bacterial infection.
SO WHAT ARE YOU THINKING ?? GO BRUSH YOUR TEETH TWICE A DAY, KEEP FLOSSING, VISIT YOUR DENTIST REGULARLY TO AVOID THESE PAINFUL CONSEQUENCES.
