Why Special Care is Essential for Your Teeth
Plaque is a layer of bacteria that forms on the surface of teeth and gums. If not cleaned regularly, the bacteria in plaque produce acid, causing tooth decay, gum disease, and bad breath.
Certain conditions such as diabetes, acid reflux, or vitamin deficiencies can weaken oral health. Oral infections may also reduce the immune system’s ability to fight diseases.
Brushing incorrectly or inconsistently leads to plaque buildup, tartar formation, tooth decay, and gum disease. Not using dental floss or mouthwash allows bacteria to thrive between teeth.
