How long can you live without teeth?

Answer 1

You should brush your teeth for about 2 - 3 minutes; make sure to brush both the upper teeth and bottom teeth.

A bit more:

A good way to make sure you brush your teeth long enough is to have some music playing. Most people don't have a clock in their bathroom, and what they think is a full minute is often only 30 - 45 seconds. So if you brush your teeth for the duration of an entire song, that will help ensure you brush them long enough, since most songs are approximately 21/2 - 3 minutes long.

Don't forget to brush your tongue, since it can harbor a lot of bacteria, and be sure to floss, too.

Another bit more:

This may sound rather stupid, but it's what I do. It works pretty well:

Follow the advice above for the brushing procedures.

First brush once. Floss. The crazy part is using a Q-tip to rub your teeth, which whitens them. Brush again following the same procedures above, then use dental flouride rinse. This is before bed. After breakfast and before dinner, simply brush normally.

Answer 2

Two minutes at least. If you WANT to have healthy teeth, that is. If you want to lose your teeth, negative 5 seconds should do. Otherwise, 2 minutes. You should also floss!!!!!!! Your dentist will ask you when you go in (like you should) for your twice-a-year checkup when you floss. Also use mouthwash before going to bed, or the next day, you will have bacteria in your mouth!!!!!!!!!!!!EWWWWW!!!!! Also, use sugar-free gum for great breath!

Answer 3

Depends what foods and tools you have available. The main purpose of teeth are to grind up coarse food into smaller pieces so that we can digest it easier.

If you have a mixer or a blender, or simply a knife and time enough to chop everything up real fine, then you can live your whole natural life without teeth.

Answer 4

You really shouldn't go one day without brushing your teeth. The accumulation of plaque and the foods you eat will start the process of a cavity, this starts with decalcification first, which is a brighter whiter color on your tooth. The enamel where it is decalcified will have a softer surface and appear chalky. Often when braces come off of teeth that weren't taken care of properly you can see a ring of white (decalcification) around the area where the brackets were. So if you don't want any permanent damadge to you teeth you should brush them every day!
