they turn yellow then green then brown then fall out and no one will want to talk to you or kiss you. You will probably have lots of cavities.

Giving Plaque the Brush-Off
To prevent cavities, you need to remove plaque, the transparent layer of bacteria that coats the teeth. The best way to do this is by brushing your teeth twice a day and flossing at least once a day. Brushing also stimulates the gums, which helps to keep them healthy and prevent gum disease. Brushing and flossing are the most important things that you can do to keep your teeth and gums healthy.
Toothpastes contain abrasives, detergents, and foaming agents. Fluoride, the most common active ingredient in toothpaste, is what prevents cavities. So you should always be sure your toothpaste contains fluoride.
About one person in 10 has a tendency to accumulate tartar quickly. Tartar is plaque in a hardened form that is more damaging and difficult to remove. Using antitartar toothpastes and mouthwashes, as well as spending extra time brushing the teeth near the salivary glands (the inside of the lower front teeth and the outside of the upper back teeth), may slow the development of new tartar.
If you have teeth that are sensitive to heat, cold, and pressure, you may want to try a special toothpaste for sensitive teeth. But you'll still need to talk to your dentist about your sensitivity because it may indicate a more serious problem, such as a cavity or nerve inflammation (irritation).

If you have healthy teeth to begin with, no cavities or leaking crowns/inlays/fillings, absolutely nothing will happen except for seriously stinky breath. It would take anywhere from 3 to 8 months if you start with healthy teeth before a cavity may begin forming. But if you happen to have soft enamel and have a few cavities already, all bets are off and they can spread very quickly.

Your teeth turn yellow, decay, fall out, and you end up looking ugly.
BRUSH YOUR TEETH TWICE A DAY!
Also, use mouth wash and floss.

what can happen is that the tooth can start to "rust away". because the tooth is a bone, it can also affect the gums also

there is something in toothpaste that makes little holes in ur teeth. It cleans the bad stuff off ur teeth, but it also can create little holes in them. By using toothpaste it cleans the wholes and bad stuff, but once u stop the holes wont be cleaned and cavities will start to grow. EWWW. Bad stuff, bad stuff.
