The problem with plaque and tartar

Plaque is a colorless sticky form of bacteria that constantly builds up on our teeth. If the cleaning process fails plaque reacts with minerals, food & dirt in your saliva and hardens to tartar. It is important to have tartar removed, because it greatly increases the risk of decay and gum disease, chronic gingivitis and degenerative tooth loss may be the outcome. Dental scientists now know that poor oral health care can contribute to the development of diseases like diabetes and coronary disease.
