Question:

Can people get sick by not brushing their teeth regularly?

By not taking care of your mouth can you get sick.


Answers:

Absolutely, as a dentist I can tell you that not keeping up with good oral hygiene can lead to serious health problems. As a small cavity begins to decay further into the layers of a tooth it can, and usually will, cause an infection (Abscess). If left untreated, an the infection in an abscess tooth can spread to the throat causing airway obstructions and spread to the heart and brain possibly causing fatal complications.
