Signs You Have Tartar

General Dentistry, Today's Dental Comfort

At Today’s Dental Comfort, we regularly express the importance of caring for your teeth and oral health. It is important that you brush your teeth for two minutes at least twice per day and use dental floss daily. In addition, we recommend patients visit our office every four to six months for a routine hygiene examination and cleaning. Cleaning your teeth regularly and visiting our office for a thorough cleaning is the best way to ensure you don’t have lingering bacteria and plaque on your teeth. Plaque buildup will eventually lead to an issue with tartar.

General Dentistry, Patient Education, Today's Dental Comfort

You know the importance of brushing, flossing, and caring for your teeth. One area of your mouth you may not be brushing is your tongue. Just as food and bacteria get trapped between your teeth, your tongue is also a magnet for bacteria. It has quite a bit of texture. Bacteria can build up on the tongue and not be fully removed from rinsing the mouth. We encourage our patients to brush their tongues when cleaning their teeth.

General Dentistry, Patient Education, Today's Dental Comfort

At Today’s Dental Comfort, our goal is to help our patients become educated about the best ways to improve their oral health. One way to help your oral health is to make sure you have a thorough oral hygiene routine. If you often feel your teeth seem fuzzy or slimy, there is a good chance you are not cleaning them properly. The fuzzy or slimy feeling you are experiencing is most likely plaque. Plaque is a sticky film that coats the teeth and is caused by bacteria from food and drink.
