Plaque and tartar may sound similar, but they are quite different.
Plaque is a soft, sticky film of bacteria that builds up on teeth daily. With regular brushing and flossing, plaque can usually be removed.
Tartar, on the other hand, is hardened plaque that has not been cleaned away. Once it forms, it cannot be removed at home and requires professional dental care.
Regular dental health reviews and hygiene appointments help keep both under control.
