What’s happening to your tooth surfaces over time? Dental plaque is a soft and sticky film that regularly forms on your tooth surface. Combined with your saliva and food, deposits will form mostly where the teeth and gum meet.

Over time, this plaque hardens and is called tartar or calculus…. kind of like barnacles on your teeth! Without regular intervention, over time the damage can cause cavities, bleeding gum, recessing bone and tooth loss. ?

Calculus usually builds up in spots that are out of sight such as between the teeth and underneath your gums. This build up usually results in late detection of dental problems or when you are not regularly attending routine check and cleans.

So book an appointment and sort out your tooth barnacles today! ?
