What If You Never Brush Your Teeth

say hello to Brainerd our channels loyal test subject give the viewers a big smile branded see those pearly whites like most of us Brainerd brushes and flosses every day just like doctors recommend what would happen if Brainerd lost his toothbrush for good would his teeth rot and fall out of his mouth would his lack of oral hygiene somehow affect the rest of his body too let's find out the human mouth performs a lot of important functions but it's quite a yucky place a warm moist part of the body that is often filled with food particles yeah you can see why bacteria find it so attractive it's their favorite neighborhood by brushing his teeth daily Brainerd keeps these bacteria in check but stop brushing and things quickly start spiraling out of control without brushing Brainard's teeth will soon be stained by drinks like coffee and wine while the gaps in his mouth slowly fill with micro fragments of food these food fragments will begin to rot over time giving off an awful smell from his mouth and making it exceedingly difficult for Brainerd to get a date this condition however which is known medically as halitosis and colloquially as stank breath is just the tip of the iceberg left unchecked bacteria and Brainard's mouth will also quickly begin multiplying and feeding on the food remnants in his mouth creating a substance known as plaque you've definitely felt plaque before it's the gross sticky film in your mouth when you wake up in the morning yeah you know what I'm talking about we usually brush this film away ASAP because well it's disgusting but if you leave it on long enough plaque can transform into a harder substance called tartar or calculus as if calculus wasn't hard enough already tartar develops between Brainard's teeth on the front and the back and on his gum line unfortunately for Brainerd this localized buildup of bacteria is devastating for his teeth damaging areas on the surfaces and opening up little holes known as cavities once formed these cavities further compromised his oral health if not filled properly they'll begin to harbor little pockets of bacteria within his tea that will start eating in his bone and causing periodontal disease also known as gum disease but more on that in a second after all your body doesn't leap from plaque to full-blown gum disease overnight there are some warning signs in between well one commonly known warning sign at least and that is gingivitis gingivitis is essentially an early form of gum disease before it starts getting destructive often caused by plaque buildup gingivitis is characterized by angry red swollen gums that are painful to the touch and that may bleed when brushed or flossed while not all cases of gingivitis turn into gum disease all gum disease began as gingivitis fortunately for most who can reverse gingivitis by brushing and flossing thoroughly unfortunately for Brainerd he's gonna have to keep suffering through it until it turns into periodontal disease that's right it's back now if you thought bleeding gums are bad just wait till you see the full-blown gum disease and our friend Brainerd with the development of cavities bacteria will start multiplying and creating enzymes that eat through the bone this in turn will create more room for bacteria to grow which creates more enzymes which eat through more bone and so on and so forth until his mouth becomes a deteriorating mess full of bacteria and devoid of teeth entirely as the bacteria start burrowing into his inner layer of gums Brainard's body will make a last-ditch effort to protect itself by burning some bridges so to speak and destroying its own gums and ligaments causing his bacteria-laden teeth to fall loose at this point Brainerd will be a near constant pain while putting any cold hot or sugary foods in his mouth will cause the pain to skyrocket with his mouth in such a state it's possible that Brainerd could develop a super severe infection that can only be remedied with emergency surgery and these are just the mouth based problems Brainerd will be dealing with however a dirty mouth affects more than just your teeth and gums if the bacteria in your mouth manages to enter your bloodstream through your gums it can stress out your entire immune system causing diseases like pneumonia heart attacks strokes and more of course everyone's oral health is different after a year without brushing some people may develop cavities but no gum disease others may have full-blown periodontitis a lucky handful may develop no health problems at all though there's no way to escape the stained teeth and stinky breath however we recommend you keep brushing and so do the people who've stopped runny deckert's a kora user stopped brushing his teeth at age 12 he since had 11 teeth pulled due to massive face infections has 5 partly broken teeth and 3 teeth with dark spots meanwhile a person named Jay on the British TV show embarrassing bodies has found his teeth in a similar state after 20 years of not brushing with Jays dentists screwing a titanium base into his jawbone so he can receive implants both men practically begged viewers not to follow their footsteps and practice good oral hygiene from a young age being unable to eat and having people recoil from the side of your mouth will give you perspective we suppose now you may be asking if brushing our teeth is so important added humans survive before toothbrushes it's actually a good question for starters human beings always understood the importance of oral hygiene with evidence of primitive civilizations fashioning makeshift toothbrushes and toothpicks out of sticks and twigs however more importantly the human diet is vastly different to what it used to be car B we D high sugar and acidic products are commonplace and consumed by humans across the world and these are foods that oral bacteria thrive on as a result maintaining good oral hygiene practices is way more important today than it was ten thousand years ago ultimately an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure you can either have stained stinky gross teeth that are falling out of your infected mouth or you can brush your teeth for two minutes twice a day the choice is yours oh and brain your here's your toothbrush try not to lose it again will ya and hey another Brainiac news we have some winners from our recent caption contest
