This is bad because of the bacteria build up in mouth. There are about 500 different species of bacteria that are present in your mouth that form biofilm (plaque) over your teeth. Not only can this lead to cavities or gingivitis but also can lead to other illness such as strep throat because the build up of certain bacterial species will then move down the throat to find more nutrients. This is definitely a concern.
