Daily brushing is not only a good habit but also necessary for the good dental hygiene because it does not allow plaque to form over the teeth. Plaque is a thin layer of bacteria deposited on teeth surface so it must be removed daily by brushing because the bacteria in plaque produce acids that attack the enamel of teeth and cause tooth decay which results in tooth cavities and gum disease. If you do not do brushing daily then the plaque is deposited layer over layer and plaque turns into a hard crust.
This hard crust of plaque is called Tartar or Calculus. When tartar starts depositing between teeth and gums, the plaque underneath gums produces toxins which cause inflammation in the gums as a result of which gums are pulled away from teeth which is a first step towards gum disease and tooth loss. So if you do not like to wear dentures, implants, bridges, then do daily brushing to remove this plaque.
