The Importance

A thin film of bacteria, plaque, builds on the surface on individuals teeth.

1

This bacteria will have biochemical reactions that produce acids.

1 The acids are cause decay on the tooth, known as cavities. 1From plaque buildup around individuals gums, there is a higher risk of gum disease. 1This plaque can damage individuals gums and the bones that hold the teeth in place. 1

The Impact

Maintaining good oral hygiene, brushing twice a day and flossing at least once a day, will aid in the prevention of cavities.

1

Once a cavity forms, the dentist has to fix it.

Brushing and flossing aid significantly in lowering the risk of developing gum disease. It also aids in treating this less severe form. 1This mild form does not damage the tissues or bones under teeth that holds teeth in place. 1A more severe form of gum disease, periodontitis, needs to be treated by a dentist. This can lead to individuals teeth having to be removed, severe damage to gums and bones.
