Lack of proper dental care is linked to steep costs in terms of dental fees, fillings and dental implants. Teeth should be brushed twice leach day, especially before bedtime.
Key takeaways:
- Bad breath is one negative from failing to brush teeth. Bacteria in the mouth survive on particles between teeth causing foul smell.
- Gum disease can be caused by failure to brush teeth regularly. Bleeding gums when brushing or flossing is a sign of gum disease.
- Brushing your teeth at least once every day will help protect against full blown gum disease. Plaque buildup happens within a period of 24 hours.
The buildup of plaque that causes gum disease takes at least 24 hours to develop, so if you’re brushing once a day, you’ll disrupt the bacteria before it gets a chance to really screw up your gums.
