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?

Saliva is antibiotic antiviral and antitoxic but old food stuck in teeth can cause tooth decay and gum disease. Eating a very small piece of food left to soak in an antibiotic isn’t as bad as eating food just left to rot.
