ORAL HEALTH INFORMATION
The daily build up is quite normal and provided plaque is removed at least every 24 hours your mouth will remain healthy.
If plaque is allowed to be in the mouth for more than 24 hours more harmful bacteria begin to increase in number causing both gum disease and dental decay. Plaque is difficult to see and will form more quickly if less saliva is produced in your mouth. This happens when you smoke, take certain medication and as you get older. Previous Next
