Is it healthy not to brush your teeth?

Having healthy teeth can not only add points to the beauty of teeth, but also reflect the health of the body. Everyone should do a good job in oral care in their daily life, and adhere to the habit of brushing their teeth every morning and evening and gargling after meals. In fact, brushing your teeth at night is more important than brushing your teeth in the morning, so everyone should get into the habit of brushing their teeth before going to bed at night so as not to endanger their dental health. What's the harm of not brushing your teeth before going to bed? Here is a brief introduction to the possible hazards caused by not brushing your teeth before going to bed.

First, there is dental plaque. After sleeping, because the mouth is closed, the temperature and humidity in the mouth are suitable for the growth and reproduction of bacteria. Not brushing your teeth before going to bed provides a lot of nutrition for the reproduction of these bacteria, thus accelerating the reproduction of bacteria. After a long time, these bacteria will adhere to the surface of teeth and form dental plaque.

The second is to induce dental caries. After the teeth fall asleep at night, the amount of saliva secreted in the body will decrease. If you don't brush your teeth before going to bed, food residues will begin to corrode your teeth under the action of bacteria and form dental caries.

Third, it leads to periodontitis. Often not brushing your teeth before going to bed will cause bacteria and toxins in your mouth to stimulate your gums, which will lead to bleeding. Plaque is easy to calcify and form stones. When dental calculus oppresses the gums, it will cause gingivitis, which will form periodontitis over time.

The fourth cause of bad breath. If you don't have the habit of brushing your teeth, the food residue in your mouth will be decomposed by bacteria before going to bed, resulting in an unpleasant smell, which is what we call bad breath. The appearance of bad breath not only affects normal communication, but also brings some troubles to life.

In short, everyone knows about the related hazards of not brushing your teeth before going to bed. After teeth chew food, it is easy to cause food residues to stay in the mouth. If these food residues are not cleaned up in time before going to bed, some substances that corrode teeth will ferment in the mouth and may also cause bad breath. Therefore, don't neglect oral hygiene because of it.
