What Happens to Your Gums if You Don’t Brush
Bacteria that are normally present in every mouth can, if left undisturbed, colonize on tooth surfaces, resulting in the formation of plaque (soft deposits) and calculus or tartar (hard deposits). The goals of routine dental hygiene visits here at Torrington Dental Care is to eliminate the hard deposits that you cannot remove on your own, identify areas of concern regarding your teeth and gums, and help you develop the proper techniques that will work to keep your mouth as healthy as possible.
