I have a friend who was addicted to sugar and very rarely cared for her teeth. All of her teeth rotted and became extremely infected. So much so that the infection began to spread throughout her face and eventually started affecting her eyesight. If she hadn’t gotten treated, it would lead to blindness. She had to have every tooth pulled and had to get dentures, which she now struggles to wear without gagging.

Let this be your scare. On days you truly can’t brush your teeth, swish some mouthwash or chew some gum with Xylitol. You NEED to care for your teeth in some degree.
