Do I need to clean my teeth? Family Dentist on Chinguacousy, RD
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.
