Plaque builds up on your teeth in a form of soft, sticky film and contains millions of bacteria. This bacteria can damage tooth enamel and lead to cavities. The best way to remove plaque is by regular brushing and flossing, If not it can lead to tooth decay and gum disease.

If plaque stays on your teeth, it hardens into tartar. Tartar, also known as calculus, is hardened dental plaque which forms below and above the gum line.

The inflammation of the gum tissue is determined by the accumulation of tartar. In medicine, this condition is known as gingivitis and the most common symptoms are inflammation and bleeding. You can reverse gingivitis with good oral care, but if not controlled, and in absence of treatment can progress to periodontitis. It is an inflammation of the tissue around the teeth, which in most cases causes shrinkage of the gums and loosening of the teeth. It can ultimately lead to tooth loss.

The only way to avoid this issues with your teeth it is to brush them after every meal. Most of you can visit a dentist on regular basis and address these issues, but many people can afford dental care because of the high prices.
