Cavaties and Tooth Decay
The bacteria that live in your mouth exist on these "leftover" foods, producing these harmful acids as a result.

Oral Cancer
The disease represents about four percent of all cancers and 2.2 percent of all cancer deaths in the U.S. The tongue is the most common site for oral cancer in both men and women.

Gum Disease
If left untreated, gingivitis will lead to gum or periodontal disease, which severely affects the gum tissue, bone and supporting tissues of the existing teeth.
