Hehe, not really. However, not brushing your teeth can lead to a higher risk of plaque build up in your heart. For some strange reason, scientist have found that your dental health effects your heart. So, moderate and brush every day!
Good Luck!

Whome? is exactly correct. In addition to his or her comment, plaque build up can chip off your teeth while sleeping, causing stomach irritation.
Did you know that dogs can get extremely ill if the plaque and bacteria from dirty teeth gets into their digestive tract? Humans react similar. Everytime you swallow, you're taking rotten food and bacteria from your mouth down into your stomach.
I don't know what reason anyone would have for not brushing their teeth, but if there is one, well I'd suggest carrying around a bottle of mouth wash and using it frequently throughout the day.

yes, it could potentially contribute to it. the reason is that the bacteria builds up on your tongue and filters down to your lungs and stomach. therefore, the "germs" develops in your stomach and will cause problems such as indigestion.

There is a possibility and to avoid that, stop using tooth paste!
