WHAT'S THE "HARD YELLOW STUFF" ON YOUR TEETH

First impression they say can carry for a life time.And the first thing people tend to notice is your smile - oh! your teeth is an essential part of that smile..

       

Teeth with plaque

Do you have sticky stuff on your teeth?
or is yours the hard stubborn yellow stuff?
Relax, I'm not trying to add to your insecurities.....each of us already have our fair share of  things we are ridiculously self conscious about...

However,taking care of your  teeth is very important...it's actually the least you could do.Your teeth don't have to be Colgate shining though - mine isn't!. But, a dirty teeth is quite bad.It's a sign of of being lazy....if a person cannot put forth the basic effort it takes to brush their teeth at least once a day,then it says a whole lot more about how they care for the rest of their body.

SO,what is that "hard yellow stuff" on your teeth?
we'll have to start with the colorless sticky stuff which is the foundation for the hard one
The colorless sticky substance is called  PLAQUE..it is made up of the normal bacteria of your mouth and discarded cells of your cheeks and tongue.

If plaque is not removed after 72 hours,it becomes hard and converts into that "hard yellow stuff" known as DENTAL CALCULUS OR TARTAR..And according to report,calculus cannot be  removed by BRUSHING,dental floss or a visit to a dentist are the available options.
A dental floss is a string of material used for cleaning in between the teeth where a toothbrush may not reach.
        WHO CARES ABOUT THAT YELLOW STUFF ANYWAYS?
well,I do and you should too...because plaque and/or tartar can lead to gum disease,dental caries,or cavities....it spoils your smile and leaves you with bad breath.You definitely wouldn't want your teeth looking like the picture below,would you?

TARTAR

CONCLUSION: when it comes to our teeth,the old dictum "prevention is better than cure" is key. Your teeth don't have to be Colgate white,just make an effort to keep them clean on daily basis.The more care you take of your teeth now,the more stunning smile you will share in the future!
