Trace the impact that not brushing or flossing can have on your teeth, gums, microbiome, and overall health over time. -- At any given time, your mouth is maintaining a delicate balance between hundreds of microbial species, which is why dentists agree that you should brush twice and floss once every day. But what if you just… didn’t? If you stopped doing any oral hygiene, how long would it take for your mouth to get messy? Justin Merritt investigates how not brushing can impact your health over time.
