Some Dental Problems Are Easy To See - Plaque!
One of the easiest problems to spot is a
build-up of plaque.
Plaque is the soft, sticky layer of bacteria, which is constantly forming on the teeth.
Usually it is invisible to the naked eye, but when a person is not brushing adequately, it can build up to where it appears to be a thick whitish coating on the teeth at the gum line. If not removed, it
could be a factor in progression of gum disease.Another potential problem, which is easy to spot, is missing teeth. Many patients
Dr. Waldron sees assume that if they are still able to eat, they are O.K.
But very often, losing just one tooth can lead to a cascade of
problems; the loss of bone support, teeth begin to drift, a change in the bite,
and teeth can become more prone to decay. It also forces the remaining teeth to carry an additional load, sometimes past their ability to adapt. In most cases, when even one tooth is lost, the remaining teeth suffer and are more likely to be lost as well.
