Why can going to sleep without brushing your teeth be so bad for you?

Of course, you are tired of knowing how important it is to brush your teeth when you wake up, after meals, and before bed. In addition to leaving your teeth clean, brushing (combined with flossing) decreases the incidence of tooth decay, tartar, gingivitis and bad breath (when it has no stomach origin).

However, at the height of night fatigue, many people skip brushing before bed and go straight to bed. And that's not good, because with the bacteria "stuck" inside the mouth, it produces the perfect environment for them to act by forming plaque, which can lead to tooth decay and gum disease.

“Brushing your teeth, fortunately, disturbs bacteria so they don't stay in place. Because if left in the mouth, they start attacking the teeth. Also, the longer the plaque stays in one place, the more likely it will become tartar, "Dentist Deepinder Sahota told The Huffington Post.

And because, during a night's sleep, if you sleep about 6 to 10 hours on average, bacteria have plenty of time to act. Remember that the tartar, mentioned by the dentist is that yellow and rough material that can be formed in the teeth, which can cause inflammation and bleeding gums.

Untreated for a long time, tartar can make you lose your teeth. Of course, the process will not happen by occasional oblivion, but it is necessary to do a little force not to happen often.
