Plaque is the main cause of disease, which is a soft, sticky, colorless film that constantly forms and sticks around teeth. The daily cleaning is essential to remove plaque and keep your mouth healthy.
If plaque is not removed, it hardens and turns into a rough deposit called calculus or tartar.
The toxin produced by bacteria in plaque irritate the gum. The toxins destroy the supporting tissues around the teeth. The gum become loose and separate from the teeth, forming pockets that fill with more plaque.
As the disease progresses, the pockets become more profound. The plate moves to the roots of the teeth. The bone supporting the teeth can be permanently damaged. Unless treated early, the affected teeth may become loose and even fall over.
