Brushing helps keep your teeth clean and clears some of the plaque buildup.
However, it takes more than that to remove tartar. This stubborn deposit on your teeth is a result of plaque buildup along the gum line.
Whenever you eat or drink something, a layer of bacteria called plaque forms around the enamel of your teeth. After only 24 hours, the plaque hardens to form tartar. The bacteria trap the sugars in your diet and convert it into acids. Since these acids are in contact with your teeth, they erode the enamel and this can lead to tooth decay.
These deposits, if not regularly removed, can cause tooth decay as well as gum disease, which is why it’s important that you get regular teeth cleaning done.
How Is Dental Cleaning Done?
The most important visit you will have at Clínica Dental Champsaur is your teeth cleaning appointment.
During this appointment, your dentist not only scrubs off the plaque, tartar and particles that have built-up, but also reinforces the importance of home-care oral brushing and flossing as well as giving your dentist an opportunity to find areas in the mouth that may need special attention.
