HOW DO YOU NOTICE DENTAL PLAQUE (TARTAR)?
It is important to notice dental plaque forming on your teeth. In some cases it may be hard if the plaque is the same color as the teeth, but in most cases it is highly apparent.
Dental plaque, or tartar, is a substance that contains bacteria; therefore it is important to get rid of. In some cases, hard structure of tartar can be felt on the teeth surface. No matter how frequent you brush, it is impossible to get rid of. Only a dental plaque cleaning procedure, performed by an expert periodontist will be able to clean out the substance.
Dental plaque starts forming from the gums to the edge of teeth and has a crusty surface; therefore it is usually easily noticed. Its color can sometimes be yellow or brownish. If the tartar is not cleaned in regular intervals, it will cause infection on the gum and even bleeding down the road.
