  • Nearly half of Americans don’t brush their teeth enough. This opens the door for a bacteria invasion, leading to tooth decay and gum disease. Even worse, you might increase your risk for issues like kidney disease and dementia.

    Nearly half of Americans don’t brush their teeth enough. This opens the door for a bacteria invasion, leading to tooth decay and gum disease. Even worse, you might increase your risk for issues like kidney disease and dementia. The following is a transcript of the video.
    Meet Streptococcus mutans. He’s a bacterium and…a bit of a slob. But this isn’t just any mess. It’s what’s on your teeth! You see, “Strep” and all his roommates live inside your mouth, feeding off the sugar and protein in your food. When they’re done they excrete a slimy substance ALL OVER your pearly whites.
    The end result is a bacteria-ridden pigsty, called biofilm. Now a little biofilm isn’t going to hurt you. It’s only when you stop brushing it away that things can get ugly. And not only for your teeth. It just so happens that “Strep” and his friends are a downright threat to your life.
    Nearly half of Americans don’t brush their teeth enough. And when food builds up in those nooks and crannies, you’re inviting a host of bacteria to the party - including your gum line. The perfect place for bacteria to camp out in even greater numbers! Which irritate and inflame your gums, causing tenderness and bleeding.
    But that’s just the start! Soon enough, that infection will trigger your immune system. Which sends fighter cells to battle the bacteria. This creates a hostile environment for the bacteria, which is what you want. But it can also damage the cells in nearby tissue and bone.
    6 months to years later, that tissue and bone will eventually die. At this point, you don’t have gingivitis anymore. You have something much worse: periodontal disease. No more tissue and bone means no structural support. So, your gums separate from your teeth forming pockets that quickly become extra space for “Strep” and his friends. Which further infects your gums, causing your teeth to fall out.
    Now, you may think this could never happen to you but about 10% of Americans between ages 50-64 have lost not just one or two, but ALL of their teeth! And to make matters worse, “Strep” and his buddies may enter your bloodstream, where they’ll wreak havoc on your organs, too.
    For example, in one study, people with periodontal disease were 4.5 times more likely to have chronic kidney disease than people with healthy gums. And another study found that people in a retirement community who didn’t brush their teeth daily, had up to a 65% greater risk of dementia. Last but not least, there’s the increased risk of developing certain cancers:
    To be fair, these risks can also be the result of poor hygiene in general, but the message remains clear: Brush. Your. Teeth. It’s worth the extra 4 minutes a day.

    When I was a child I truly didn't care about brushing my teeth. I had cavities and pain, but eventually those teeth fell out as they should. That's when I started to care for my teeth. A fresh start.
    I am now 25, and even though I have a near perfect dental hygiene (I am aware of what I eat and drink, brush 2 times a day and floss, the only thing I sometimes skip is dental elixir), I have early stage periodontal desease and had to treat two small cavities (the first ever since loosing my baby teeth and without going to the dentist for nearly 3 years due to Covid). Me and my dentist found out that my medication for endometriosis leaves me more vulnerable to periodontal desease and the stress I endured during the last two years only worsened it. Sometimes it's not only the lack of hygiene that will damage your teeth and gums, there are other factors. So always take a closer look at all the variables.

      Funny thing, I hardly ever brushed my teeth as a kid. Only about once a month. I never had any cavities in my baby teeth. When I became a teen, I made sure I brushed my teeth much more often so I don't get cavities. I still don't brush as much as I should, only about once a day, usually. getting cavities in your baby teeth is not as bad as getting them in your adult teeth, Unless that cavity spread to your adult teeth.
      Just because i didn't get cavities yet, doesn't mean I won't. I am lucky to have naturally straight teeth and to keep my wisdom teeth. I don't want to give that up.

      Yeah brother that’s def a sign of depression… I was the exact same way, except I’d brush maybe 3-5 times in a month. Went to the dentist for the first time in years the other day. There, the pain from all the cleaning done to my gums made me lock in and I’m forcing myself to brush my teeth and hydrate and all that. Been almost a week, hoping I don’t fall into that hole again. There’s a certain joy that comes from it too, cause it helped motivate me to buy better clothes, working shoes, and practice proper shaving and showering habits. Hoping whatever you got going on improves.

    As a dental assistant, I think this video is a perfect educational tool that is needed. Thank you, Science Insider.
    Edit: Most cavities start between the teeth. Floss first to clear out the bacteria and food from between the teeth. Then brush to remove everything.
    If you brush first, then floss, you're just depositing the stuff between the teeth onto the area you just brushed.
    Also, the term "brush & floss" was coined for advertising because it sounded better than "floss & brush".

I’ve become a tooth care fiend because I worked so hard for my smile (and took really good care of my teeth when my braces were on too) and I’m proud of it. People who don’t take care of their teeth either didn’t have to pay for braces themselves or just overall don’t care how they look. I would never be able to get braces again due to the expense so I’m very proactive about making them worth my money!

I had to get a few extractions and the last one I had the dentist said I had serious peridontal disease. I began brushing, flossing and mouthwash after every meal and started eating a lot more fruits and vegetables especially leafy greens and my gums no longer hurt and no longer bleed anymore. peridontal disease can't be cured but I have slowed it down tremendously

That filling didn't last long though since my tooth started to ache and I repeatedly went back to the dentist to relieve this pain They did many fillings and I took tons of medicine but one time they did a root canal and that helped alongside a filling as well. I started to drink plenty of water and eat less sugary food now.

I didn't fully start worrying about my teeth until I turned 23, I am 24 now. 1 year after I visited the dentist, my teeth were whiter and healthier than I had ever seen them, and I prevented losing my teeth at an early age in my life. Im told I could still have all my teeth if I maintain good oral hygiene and continuous dental visits.

    I adopter a cat at 3 years of age which is when every professional or article to read says the animal will have health problems like illnesses, conditions and a lessened life span for your pet. Well her teeth were checked and cleaned the weekly advised amount before we got her but we clean them before bed with the rest of her nightly rituals but despite this, she already has gingivitis and many teeth needing to come out (health issues caught in time to slow) and she gets many dental treats and toys to help which our dog has followed in dog form for her three years of life and has no issues but clean teeth without any smelliness so that just showed me how fragile human teeth must be, with nowhere near the strength or type they both have that can stop through rough ‘n’ though toys in less than 30 seconds yet have issues with one brush a week.
    Cat now has her electric silent brush, toothpaste, gumb&numb paste, teeth spray, etc. But she is too far gone, a cat that only thinks about food, never would stop eating over to poop or be sick and begins once more now struggling to eat, bad breath, bleeding gums still (but lessened hugely since the start of her personal mouth care began) and it makes me feel bad for any time I didn't clean my teeth when the cat didn't have the option to keep her teeth for longer than and be without pain throughout her body (thankfully not life-threatening before we could start helping) 3 years.
