As a child, we are always bombarded about the importance of a tonne of good habits. We try our best to follow most of them. Among these, the most important and the most common was brushing our teeth 2 times every day to prevent the tooth decay. Many of us pushed their parents’ hand in denial and always got angry when they used to force us to brush. But now we are glad that we listened to their advice.

 

In case you still need a reminder, please brush your teeth every day. Here is the horrifying story of a guy who hasn’t brushed his teeth in 20 years.

 

This is Jay. He appeared on an episode of Embarrassing bodies at the age of 21 and admitted to not have taken care of his teeth by brushing or flossing. He looks like an absolutely average good looking British guy until he opens his mouth. He said that he wasn’t just encouraged to brush his teeth every day.

He said that as the extent of his Tooth decay increased, he became exceedingly scared to go to a dentist which in turn worsened the situation. He also admitted having an addiction for all kinds of wrong food and fizzy drinks.

 

Jay was then examined by a dentist, Dr. James Russell who later revealed that Jay’s teeth were covered in tartar over the years. Tartar is hardened food debris that clings to our teeth.

 

Before Dr. James Russell could see the full extent of the problem, a hygienist had to blast away the tartar and remove it with a scalar.

 

He was then taken to have a CT Scan. In the CT Scan, it was revealed that Jay would need to lose as much as 11 of his teeth. Luckily, even though the teeth had rotten completely, the gums were healthy enough for him to receive dental implants.

 

All the 11 teeth were replaced with screw implants. One of the screws was around 18 millimeters long.

 

The entire process took around 5 months. However, the every moment spent was definitely worth it. Jay was blessed with an amazingly beautiful smile.

 

He became more confident.

However, Jay had to promise to change his lifestyle to a great extent by committing to brush regularly and decrease the consumption of fizzy drinks.

 

The entire story was reported in 2011.
