Dental plaque (or tartar deposit) is a thin white or yellowish film that is placed on the teeth after each meal. It is made up of food residues and bacteria. When tartar is not removed regularly, dental plaque can solidify and cause cavities or gum disease (gingivitis) and mouth.
Apart from cavities, gum disease, or periodontal disease , is the main oral problem . It is an inflammation of the gums due to an accumulation of dental plaque and tartar. This dental plaque is the instigator of all dental problems.
