Brush them.

Even if you don’t care about bad breath or yellow looking teeth, you should still brush twice a day.

Why?

A Scottish study done on more than 11,000 people earlier this year has found that those who did not brush their teeth twice a day were at increased risk of heart disease. Recent findings suggest that happens because the Streptococcus bacteria enters the bloodstream via sore gums and deposits a clot-forming protein, which can cause small blood clots, growths on the heart valves, or inflammation of blood vessels that can block the blood supply to the heart and brain.

Why risk your health for such a small effort?
