Plaque is that soft, sticky stuff that builds up on your teeth over time. It contains legions of bacteria. Left untreated it will eventually lead to gum disease, bad breath and tooth loss. Frequent brushing and flossing are required to keep plaque at bay. But it's virtually impossible to remove all plaque without the skills of your professional dental hygienist. In other words, you're going to need some help. Call our office today to schedule your next routine teeth cleaning to receive help with your plaque removal!
Sticky plaque -- food, saliva, and bacteria -- starts to form on your teeth after you eat, releasing acids that attack tooth enamel. Untreated plaque turns into tartar, which builds under gum lines and is hard to remove with flossing. The longer it stays on your teeth, the more harmful it is. Bacteria in plaque causes inflammation and leads to gum disease. Having high blood sugar often makes gum disease worse. The above article is from: WebMD.com
Keeping Your Teeth and Gums Clean Daily brushing and flossing prevent most build up of plaque on tooth surfaces, but there are hard-to-reach contours in teeth that often go missed. As plaque accumulates and hardens into tartar, you take the risk of decay and gum infection developing. Medical research has shown that gum disease has far-reaching effects on your overall health. It contributes to serious conditions such as stroke, diabetes, and heart disease. Take our recommendation seriously and come in for six-month cleanings by our professional hygienist to keep your overall good health!
