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.
Unfortunately, even with methodical brushing and flossing, some plaque sticks on your teeth. Eventually, this plaque will harden into tartar that is impossible to remove without a professional cleaning. Tartar not only forms on the surface of your teeth, it can also accumulate below the gumline. If not removed, tartar buildup can lead to gum disease, which in turn can seep into your blood stream and contribute to more serious conditions such as heart disease, stroke, and diabetes. Our hygienists use the latest advancements in diode lasers to provide you with the best in antimicrobial, debridement, and biostimulation treatments that promote thorough cleaning and faster healing. After all, regular professional cleaning is one of the best things you can do for your overall health. Hatch Dental Thomas Hatch, DDS 208 N.
