Plaque is a sticky, colorless, bacteria-containing film that builds up naturally on your teeth when bacteria mixes with saliva. • If you do not remove plaque and allow it to sit on your teeth longer than it should, it combines with calcium and other minerals in your saliva, causing it to harden. Dentists call hardened plaque buildup tartar. Tartar can stain your teeth and lead to tooth discoloration. • Staying on top of your oral health and preventing plaque buildup on your teeth is the best way to prevent tartar. However, once tartar has formed, tartar removal requires thorough cleaning by a dental professional. • Here are a few tips on how to prevent tooth plaque and tartar buildup: • Properly brush and floss your teeth daily • • If possible, choose tartar control toothpaste with fluoride. • • Minimize your sugary foods and drinks intake • • Visit your dentist every six months for a routine checkup and professional dental cleaning • Dr. Silman Smile Spa provides top-notch dental care in a comfortable and welcoming environment.
