If you have a consistent brushing and flossing routine in place, you can keep your smile safe against a buildup of harmful plaque. It is important to maintain good habits on a regular basis, as even a relatively small gap in your oral care routine can allow tartar to form. While you can effectively remove plaque from your smile when you brush and floss, tartar buildup remains in place until your next routine dental appointment. Unfortunately, this can make you more vulnerable to problems with tooth decay and gum disease! Make sure you practice good habits at home, but remember that you should also take advantage of the preventive care that your Sheridan, WY dentist’s office provides! (more…)
