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
We stress the importance of having regular teeth cleanings by our dental hygienist. Daily brushing often misses areas of the back teeth, leaving plaque and tartar to form. If tartar starts to invade below the gumline, you can lose those teeth or even worse, add to the problems of serious health consequences such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and stroke. Take our recommendation seriously and let our hygienist help you keep your teeth clean. Artisan Dental Jeff Berger, DDS 19604 Mono Way Sonora, CA 95370 (209) 532-2915 ArtisanDDS.com
