That is true, but only if you have big old gaps between your teeth like an Appalacian.

Cavities and gum disease aside, poor dental care leads to periodontis, which leads to coronary heart disease. Poor dental care is also associated with pneumonia. You are gonna be one sick old guy one day, and your teeth are going to fall out like a five year old's. Of course, by the time they fall out, you will be happy they did because you will have suffered through a lot of pain by then.
