What happens if you do not brush your teeth for a year – level 1

What happens if you do not brush your teeth for a year

09-11-2026 07:00

Brushing your teeth every day keeps your mouth healthy. If you stop cleaning your mouth, bad bacteria grow very fast. In a few days, your gums start to bleed and hurt.

After a month, the bugs make holes in your teeth. We call these holes cavities. If you go a full year without brushing, your teeth can fall out. Also, the bacteria can get into your blood and make your heart, brain, and body sick.

Brushing two times a day keeps your mouth clean, saves your teeth, and helps your body stay strong and happy.

Difficult words: bacteria (small living organisms), gum (the pink flesh from where teeth grow), bleed (to lose blood, the red liquid in your body).

You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.
