🎓 SMILE SCHOOL IS IN SESSION! 🦷
You know that fuzzy feeling your teeth can get? That’s plaque making itself at home. 👀
This week, we’re breaking down plaque vs. tartar and why the difference matters:
🦷 Plaque is a sticky film of bacteria that constantly forms on your teeth.
📍 It loves hiding along the gumline, between teeth, and around hard-to-reach areas.
⚠️ If it isn’t removed, it can contribute to cavities, gum inflammation, bad breath, and more.
🪨 Over time, plaque can harden into tartar, which brushing and flossing can’t remove. That’s where your dental cleaning comes in!
The good news? Plaque is preventable. Consistent brushing, daily flossing, and regular professional cleanings can help keep your smile healthy. 💙
