Skipping your toothbrush once in a while might not seem like a big deal — but what if you never brushed at all? The results go far beyond bad breath.
🦠 What Happens in the First Few Days
- Plaque begins to build up along the gumline
- Bacteria start to multiply, leading to bad breath and early gum irritation
📆 Over Time (Weeks to Months)
- Plaque hardens into tartar, which can’t be removed at home
- Gums become red, swollen, and may bleed (gingivitis)
- Cavities start to form as enamel breaks down
⏳ Long-Term Effects
- Untreated decay can lead to tooth loss and severe infections
- Gum disease can contribute to heart disease, diabetes, and stroke
- Chronic bad breath and visible staining affect your confidence and overall well-being
