Our team can provide professional information on dental plaque and its resulting dental issues to help you keep your smile in good health.
Each time you eat food or drink food, even if it’s healthy, it contributes to a filmy substance that develops on the tooth surface. The substance is called dental plaque, and it breeds bacteria that your teeth find to be harmful. Unless you thoroughly brush your teeth every day, dental plaque remains on the teeth and continues to affect your smile.
Plaque itself may seem not seem too harmful, but it will develop into a more harmful substance called tartar if it doesn’t get cleared away. At this point, only a professional dental cleaning can treat tartar before it results in a dangerous dental condition such as tooth decay, gingivitis or advanced gum disease.
