About Dental

Brushing isn’t enough to clean all of the plaque from the surface of teeth. Places in between teeth and below the gumline can’t be reached by toothbrush and plaque can build up. Daily flossing helps to remove this plaque.
When left undisturbed plaque can transform into dental tartar(calcified plaque). The calcification process is aided by minerals from saliva and other oral fluids. The transformation of dental plaque into tartar can take place in 24 to 72 hours. Once dental tartar has fully formed on teeth it can’t be brushed or flossed off. Flossing daily cleanses dental plaque away before it transforms into tartar.
