Brushing our teeth keeps our mouth clean of gems and makes it more sanitary. Imagine not washing a dirty cloth for a month or two; you can imagine how stinky it would be. Brushing your teeth twice a day aids in the reduction of mouth odor and bacteria. Visiting the dentist is an important part of maintaining healthy teeth.
Plaque is a sticky mixture of bacteria and food, causes tooth decay and gum disease, plaque begins to accumulate on teeth shortly after eating. Plaque will lead to tooth decay or gum disease if teeth are not thoroughly cleaned each day, if plaque is not removed, it hardens into tartar, which becomes trapped at the base of the tooth.
Plaque and tartar cause gum irritation and inflammation.
Bacteria and the toxins they produce cause gum disease.
