Plaque buildup?!


Question: Plaque buildup!?
I just went to the dentist to fix what i thought was a chipped tooth!. As it turns out, the only thing i needed was a professional clean! Apparently there was a large amount of plaque buildup and when some of that chipped away, it felt like my tooth! After having the clean done it feels as though half my teeth are missing but in fact it simply my teeth minus the plaque! The dentist told me that its doesnt matter what sort of dental hygiene a person has, if they dont have a professional clean every 6 months then the plaque build up becomes severe!. Just wondering if anyone else has had this problem!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Yes, this is actually pretty common!. Obviously the better home care you have, the slower you will build plaque and calculus; but some people do build up faster than others!.

Normally it is recommended to brush 2x/day and floss 1x EVERYDAY, but if you build plaque and calculus faster, you may need to do them more often!.

You can also try asking the hygienist to check out your technique!. If you are not brushing properly, you won't be effective in removing plaque!.

Btw, your gums will heal up and your teeth will feel normal again in a few days!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Yes!. I am a single mother with no insurance coverage and I really neglected my teeth!. I thought that if I brushed after EVERY meal that it would save money out of pocket for cleaning!. I was so wrong!. After about 5 years of doing this, I was picking meat out of my teeth one day and freaked out because I felt a piece of what I thought was my tooth breaking off!. After going to the dentist, I was ashamed because of how much plaque as stuck to my teeth!. It looked like pieces of my teeth were being chipped away!. So now I try to go at least once a year!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
