Plaque & Tartar Control Patients often confuse plaque and tartar and how they are related to each other. Plaque is a sticky film that constantly forms on all areas of your teeth; it is composed of bacteria, by-product of bacterial and saliva. However, plaque that builds up along the gumline and between the teeth in hard to reach places can be harmful. Plaque buildup is a primary factor in gum disease. Fighting plaque is a life-long component of oral care. Plaque is constantly forming on teeth after brushing which is why it is so important to brush twice a day and floss daily. |
