Our mouths are an open gate for bacteria to settle. These bacterias constantly form a sticky, colorless “plaque” on teeth. Brushing and flossing may help to get rid of plaque. Plaque that is not removed can harden and form “tartar” that brushing doesn’t clean. There are a number of risk factors for gum disease, but smoking is the most significant. Regular Smoking can make treatment for gum disease less successful. Symptoms of gum disease include:
Bad breath
bleeding gums
