Plaque and Tooth Decay

Plaque and tooth decay are common dental problems that many people experience in their lifetime, but do you know how to prevent them? In our articles below, we’ll help you get to grips with those conditions and explain how brushing twice a day can help.

Starting with tooth decay, also known as dental caries, we’ll help you identify its causes, its location, and give you tips on how to manage tooth decay before it can get worse.

For plaque, a sticky deposit on the teeth, we’ll not only outline methods to remove dental plaque but we’ll also explain the cause of tartar, which occurs when plaque hardens on the teeth, and explain what descaling teeth means.
