Plaque and Calculus (Tartar)

Plaque is a sticky film of bacteria that forms daily on your teeth. If not removed, it hardens into tartar (calculus), which can only be removed by a professional. This buildup can cause gum disease, bad breath, tooth decay, and tooth loss.

At Yogi Dental, we recommend professional cleanings every 6 months to remove tartar, protect your gums, and keep your smile healthy.

Key benefits include:

  • Preventing gum disease and tooth loss
  • Keeping breath fresh and teeth clean
  • Early detection of dental issues
  • Maintaining a bright, healthy smile
