Plaque is a living assortment of bacteria, colonizing your mouth and producing the toxins that lead to tooth decay and gum disease. Your hygienist will use specialized equipment to locate and analyze the areas infected with plaque. Since this bacteria is adhesive and nearly undetectable, regular dental cleanings are the only way to keep it under control.
Once plaque makes itself at home above and below the gumline, it hardens into a yellowish cement-like substance that must be professionally removed.
Once the hygienist removes the hard to reach plaque and tartar, they will polish your teeth using professional tools. This process removes any remaining plaque and tartar, and give your teeth a beautiful, clean shine.
