Harmful bacteria will cause cavities, sensitive teeth and smelly breath. The microrgansms that stick to your teeth will plaque, a sticky build up of white surface material. You can get this bacteria from eating suger, certain juices and glazes. To prevent this floss daily and brush your teeth. Many of the bacteria will eat away and cause damage only made better with fillings, which cost a large amount of money at most dental places.
