Good afternoon.Not talking about the snow.
what will happen if you throw your toothbrush for a year.
They will develop tooth decay ,gum disease,etc
this will cause your teeth to fall out.Also can be very painful
below is from footnote online.Think about this.Brushing is a must for everyone.
____footnote____________________________________________________________
When bacteria in the mouth isn't brushed away, it can also push immune systems into overdrive and cause a host of problems in other parts of the body. Bacteria under the gum line with access to the blood line can be particularly dangerous, Messina said. A dirty mouth has been linked to respiratory diseases such as pneumonia, heart attacks and even MRSA in the case of dentures.
Everyone's health is different. So, someone could go without brushing for a year and get gum disease and no cavities. Others might have it the other way around. Some could come down with serious health problems. In rare cases, people with healthy diets and good genes could go without cavities, gum disease and health problems,

We would rinse with salt water to kill some of the bacteria. We would also use our homemade baking soda and coconut oil toothpaste on our fingers to do as much as we should.
Hope we never have to deal with that!

I'm one of those who are suffering from a terrible toothache I have so many broken teeth already. But in my neighborhood I don't know which one is a legitimate dentist because the last one who did me didn't have any darn license!.
I'm more active with tooth brushing now but for me, it's a little too late.
