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 Butler Family Dental Chris A.

We advise all our patients to have their teeth cleaned by our hygienist on a regular basis. Keeping your teeth clean can also mean having better overall health. The build-up of plaque that hardens into tartar can develop into gum disease. Medical statistics have shown that infected gums can create or worsen serious health concerns like diabetes or heart disease. Please follow up on our recommendations to keep your overall well-being and gums in a healthy state. Butler Family Dental Chris A.
