Plaque can start hardening into tartar in as little as 24 to 72 hours if it isn’t removed with brushing and flossing. 🦷

Once tartar forms, it sticks firmly to teeth and usually needs a professional cleaning to remove it. ✨

Each snack gives bacteria more fuel to produce acids that attack the teeth.

Timing matters just as much as what you eat. 😊
