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
It’s Important to Have Your Teeth
Professionally Cleaned
Even meticulous brushing can miss some of the hard-to-reach
places. Once plaque builds up and hardens into tartar,
regular brushing and flossing will not remove it. When
tartar goes below the gumline, you risk the problems of gum
disease. This can have an effect on more than just your
teeth. Medical research has detected a link between gum
infection and heart disease, diabetes, and stroke. We urge
you to have our hygienist clean your teeth thoroughly on a
regular basis to significantly reduce the chance of other
problems that contribute to serious health conditions. Sheboygan Dental Care Robert W. Schoenenberger, DDS 2202 Indiana Avenue Sheboygan, WI 53081 (920) 452-8042 DentistSheboygan.com
