Plaque: The Sneaky Villain
By Regency Dental Group
Plaque is a soft, sticky film made up of bacteria that forms on your teeth every day. You usually can’t see it, but it’s always there, especially along the gumline and between teeth.
If plaque isn’t removed, it can harden into tartar, which is much harder to clean at home. Consistent brushing, flossing, and professional cleanings help keep plaque from turning into a bigger problem.
