Not only can poor dental hygiene lead to bad breath, it can also lead to dental disease.
A coating called plaque begins to form.
The bacteria in this plaque release acids, which break down the enamel on your teeth.
As this process continues over time, a hard substance called calculus can form on the teeth, irritating the surrounding gums.
This irritation can progress into gingivitis, leading to inflammation of the gums, which can later lead to gum disease.
Gum disease causes infection, and eventually may destroy your teeth.
