What happens when you do not brush your teeth for months?!


Question: What happens when you do not brush your teeth for months?
It seems that one of my friends is worried that he is going to have tons of cavities because he just have not been brushing for months, he now is scared out of his life and brushes now 3 or 4 times a day now and keeps asking how does his teeth look, his teeth are not that yellow, and I do not see any cavities were I am looking at, and he is only 13, this was fairly recent and he now demands to see te dentist for a check up, what might he expect the doctor to say after the check up?

Answers:

um, well i dont think he has cavitys he might, cuz my brother stoep brushing his teeth liek for 2 o 3 motnhs and when we took hom to the dentist he said he had a cavity between his teht between his tooth and the other tooth so u cnat see it, we only knew that froma X-Ray, but i dont think he has cavitys



Caries formation is very complex procedures & there are a lot of factors involved that would be to many to list here.
But I see your friend is on the right path now .. and even if he has caries they would be initial and no restoration is needed.
Brushing 2-3 times a day and flossing before bedtime should be enough for protection.



He might not have a cavity, but its very possible he could if food got stuck and what not happens. But he could also b lucky and not have any and just dirty teeth. hope this makes since
