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
The
Importance of Hygiene Visits
Having your teeth cleaned professionally is a very
important preventive measure to keep all your teeth and
gums healthy. When plaque hardens into tartar, regular
brushing and flossing will not remove it. If it
accumulates below the gumline, the development of a
bacterial infection will risk tooth loss as well as
serious health conditions like diabetes, stroke, and
heart problems. Take our recommendation seriously that
having your teeth cleaned on a regular basis will help
to keep you healthy.
