DENTAL PLAQUE

Dental plaque develops on our teeth everyday which is why we need to regularly brush our teeth up to 3 times a day so we could remove our dental plaque as soon as it starts to develop. Dental plaque is not obvious when you look at your teeth because it is a sticky and colorless layer that builds up on our teeth and in between our teeth. This thin layer is known as a biofilm and it is made up of several microorganisms and bacteria.

Dental plaques can develop just below our gumline or along our gum line or even above the gumline. When the dental plaque starts to build up and has not been removed, it would harden and then calcinations will take place and it will turn to those nasty tartar and calculus.

When you have dental plaque, the bacteria found in the biofilm will release acids that will attack your teeth�s surface and eventually, the continuous release of acids will lead to tooth decay and ugly teeth cavities. If you don�t brush your teeth after every meal, soon enough you will end up with cavities.

Not only will you end up with teeth cavities, but plaque that is beneath the gum line will eventually make your gums irritated and an inflammation will occur. When this happens, you will end up with gum diseases or gingivitis. When plaque affects your gums, brace yourself for a painful experience. Our gums are very sensitive to pain especially because we use our mouth for feeding and just like any parts of our body that has an opening, constant irritation and use will cause it to inflame even more and start to bleed which is very painful.

Plaque starts out to be harmless but when you have poor dental hygiene, you�d just be amazed at the damage these harmless plaques can do to your teeth and gums. When plaque continues to accumulate, you won�t only get ugly set of teeth and bleeding gums but the bone supporting your teeth will also be affected and a permanent damage can occur. Also, you�d start having different complications to your health as the bacteria and other microorganisms multiply in your mouth and goes into your stomach.

So, it�s better not to wait for all these to happen to you. In order to remove plaque, it�s better to prevent plaque accumulation. Brush your teeth regularly and make it a habit to floss regularly as well. Brush at least twice a day and floss daily will help break up the biofilms on your teeth and the plaque that will always accumulate on your teeth will regularly be removed to prevent any greater accumulation and the formation of calculus and tartar. Use a toothpaste with Fluoride always and don�t settle for the cheap ones.

If you have gingivitis and plaque builds up underneath the teeth surface then it�s best to consult a doctor and get a dental procedure done to remove the plaque and to help eliminate your gingivitis.

Remember, prevention is always better than cure so don�t forget to brush your teeth after every meal..
