why doesn’t old food that gets stuck in our teeth make us sick?

329 viewsOther

i’ve always wondered this. i just toothpicked something that my toothbrush missed out and it’s made me think.

say you haven’t flossed in a while and have a bit of chicken you ate a few days ago stuck inbetween ur teeth that you didn’t know about. it’s definitely not fresh, so why doesn’t it make us sick?

is it not the same as eating something you left out for a while?

It does make your teeth sick, if enough builds up and isn’t removed via flossing, you get plaque, tarter and eventually cavities.
