What is the point of brushing your teeth.? Because you're just going to get food in it anyways.. Teeth don't have to be white, to look pretty, and if your breath smells, use some breath spray.. And the chances of getting a cavity is like one in 5 million.. Only people that have 2 teeth get cavities.. Tell me what is the point of brushing your teeth.?Health Question & Answer


Answers:
I'd certainly like to know where you got those "statistics" because they certainly are not correct.. There are several places where a cavity can form.. Do a search for "Classification of carious lesions" and see for yourself..

One major reason for brushing, besides preventing gum disease, is that some of the bacteria in the mouth has been shown to cause cardiac problems.. Teeth left unbrushed can cause abcesses which can lead to major infections in the body..

If you have any other questions, please let me know..Health Question & Answer

The point of brushing your teeth is to remove plaque, which consists mostly of bacteria that can and will cause cavitities, gingivitis, periodontal disease, and many other disorders if left undisturbed.. Disturbing that bacteria and removing them on a regular basis keeps the bacteria from doing any harm to your teeth and gums, which is why dentists recommend brushing twice a day at the very least.. Brushing also helps against tartar build up, which is a mineralized form of plaque and normally has to be removed by a dentist..Health Question & Answer

Its also to help keep away cavities, gingavitis, and etc.. Bascially brush your teeth, use a tongue cleaner, and floss.. Thats sick if you don't brush your teeth.. You espcially get plaque build up.. The point bascially is to take care of your mouth, unless you don't care about your teeth falling out..Health Question & Answer
