See dentist: If you don't brush then you probably have not only severely stained teeth, but cavities as well. All the brushing in the world cannot restore your cavities or get your teeth as clean as a professional hygiene visit. See a local dentist and start to look and feel better soon..

Good but.....: It's great that you want to start but bad that you haven't already. Without brushing and flossing you will most likely get cavities & gum disease (if it hasn't already started). I know that good looking teeth are important to you, but these other problems are actually more serious. Please see a dentist for a dental checkup & then find out what can be done about getting your teeth whiter & ?
