There’s a reason that Dr. Farid Hakimzadeh tells you to diligently brush and floss your teeth and that is to avoid the dangers of dental plaque. Dental plaque is a sticky biofilm that begins to layer after consuming carbohydrates. If you are reading this, take your fingernail and gently scrape the surface of your tooth. If there is a sticky substance underneath, it’s time to get to the sink and start brushing.
When plaque isn’t removed by adequate brushing and flossing, it will linger on the teeth, around the gums, and cause them to become inflamed. Plaque is the leading cause of gingivitis because the lack of oral care will cause the gums to become sensitive and tender. Plaque is constantly forming on the teeth which is why it’s important to brush at least twice a day for two minutes and floss at least once a day to remove the particles left behind.
