Plaque is one of the most common problems that attack the teeth. Rather than being an aesthetic problem can become a serious health problem that damages the teeth, because if not removed can cause inflammation of the gums, bleeding of the same, bad breath and even tooth loss.The scale is also called calculus or tartar, and no more than a layer formed by the mixture of food debris, minerals, cellular debris and millions of bacteria that are gradually adhering to the teeth due to lack of hygiene appropriate.

Plaque tends to accumulate in the inner faces of the teeth (or lingual) anterior. It is recognized as being of a hard, irregular, brown, and feeling bitter mouth, as well as halitosis or bad breath.

Dental plaque is not removed from the outer surfaces of the teeth hardens and becomes tartar. When he acceded to the teeth, is avoided only through a painless procedure performed by a specialist, known as tartectomía.

To prevent tartar to use good brushing technique, using a mouthwash 2 times a day and floss or dental floss.

Toothbrushes should be small and soft, rounded bristles, allowing access to all corners of the teeth. Should be changed every 2 or 3 months, using a floured toothpaste, dental floss, eating sugary products, and visit the dentist every 2 or 3 months.

Dental plaque and pigmentation produced by microbial plaque, can change dramatically the appearance of the teeth and cause health problems.

To prevent accumulation of bacteria in the mouth, which have also been associated with systemic diseases and digestive problems, is essential to maintain proper hygienic care of the teeth.

However, most people do not know they have it, or ignore the symptoms of gum, to which you must go to the dentist immediately:
· Redness
· Swelling
· Blood

· Sensitivity
· Your separation of teeth
· Changes in the teeth when biting
· Bad breathIf the bacterial plaque or tartar is not removed daily, hard, swollen gums, bleeding and does produce a previous form of gingivitis, which can be resolved at this stage to assist the dentist and take proper care.

The more advanced methods to diagnose the infection of the gums, based on measuring the depth of the plaque, to know the biochemical composition of bacteria, appropriate antibiotic prescribing, or placed in the tank ill a thread releasing a powerful antibiotic. But if left periodontal disease progresses, the gums begin to separate from the teeth and can cause bone wear or loss of teeth.

If periodontal disease has destroyed the gum tissue and bone, is necessary to resort to surgery to rebuild bone grafts from other parts of the body of the patient. Bone cells and blood vessels originate new bone, again covering the tooth root under the gum.

Among the best known oral disease, highlight:

Decay, which is the progressive deterioration and destruction of teeth by the action of acids that are generating some microorganisms living in the mouth. Many times by too much sweets.
Granuloma, also often called a dental abscess, and is a process in which dead cells accumulate and causing a severe bacterial infection, which must be addressed immediately by the dentist.Furthermore tooth sensitivity, also considered an oral disease, causes pain, either versus cold drinks or foods, as well as against the hot, acidic, sweet, and this is because the bottom of the tooth called root is exposed, by inflammation of the gums.
When there is any inflammation of the gums is always necessary to consult, because gingivitis is one of them, and makes the gums bleed often and sore to the touch, which in its most advanced periods is called periodontal disease, when the infection has attacked the ligaments and bones supporting the teeth, causing them to deteriorate.
