Various things adhere to the surface of teeth in
daily life. And they have a negative effect. If
you don't brush your teeth, dirt will build up on
your teeth. First, let's see what kind of things
tend to adhere to the surface of teeth. 1. Plaque
There are a lot of bacteria in the mouth. Plaque
adheres to the surface of the teeth and contains
bacteria and metabolites from our diet. Plaque
can cause tooth decay, periodontal disease and
bad breath. Toothbrushes can easily remove plaque.

2. Tartar If plaque remains on the tooth surface
for a long time, it will calcify and become
stone-hard. If this happens, it will stubbornly
stick to the tooth's surface, making it difficult
to remove with your toothpaste. Tartar can make
periodontal disease worse and cause tooth decay
and bad breath.
3. Coloring (stain) If you habitually eat dark
foods and drinks such as coffee, tea, and red
wine, pigments will build upon the surface of
your teeth. When stains are attached, it becomes
easier for plaque and new stains to attach to the
scaffolding. Stain is also difficult to remove
with a toothbrush.

4. Tobacco tar When you smoke, tar is attached to
the surface of your teeth, and your teeth turn
brown. I think that many people who smoke
cigarettes are concerned. Iftar also adheres. It
will be used as a scaffold to make it easier for
plaque, coloring, tar, etc., to adhere. Tobacco
is also difficult to remove with a toothbrush. 5.
Biofilm It's like a film of bacteria on the
surface of your teeth. It's similar to the sticky
thing in the drains of kitchens and baths. Unlike
plaque, it adheres firmly to the surface of the
teeth and cannot be completely removed by
brushing the teeth alone.

Here are answers to some of the most frequently
asked questions about cleaning your teeth by
Family Dentist on Chinguacousy, RD Is there any
pain in cleaning? If your gums are in good
health, there is basically no pain or bleeding
during the cleaning. However, if your gums are
not in good condition, they can be painful, so it
is important to consult with your dentist for a
cleaning. How often do you do the cleaning? As a
guide, the cleaning period is once every three
months. If you do not brush your teeth properly,
plaque and tartar are likely to adhere, so you
need to brush your teeth in a short period of
time. Ask your cleaning dentist about the
specific period.
