I haven't brushed my teeth since the beginning of 2013. what's the worse that can happen?

Worst?: You can have rampant cavities and gum disease. That's the worst case scenario. However, it's hopefully nowhere near that bad and not likely. However, this will come in time if you continue on your current path of not brushing and flossing along with not seeing your dentist every 6 months for checkups and cleanings. Your dental and medical health is in your hands and you alone are responsible.

Worst case . .: If you continue to neglect your teeth, you could eventually lose all of your teeth, and have visits from the tooth fairy.

I have a few cavities & Im scared one will get worse to the point of pulling instead of just filling. So, I brushed my teeth and flossed, then took some hardened tooth paste and put it on my cavity, covering it in place with dental wax. Is this ok?
