Your oral hygiene habits and semi-annual appointments to your dentist are vital to protecting your oral health. Brushing and flossing are needed to preventing plaque accumulations, which is a colorless film of bacteria. When plaque is not removed, it will continue to form along the gum line, leading to cavities and gum disease. Over time, the plaque will harden and turn into tarter.
