Why maintenance of your gum matters the most ?
At DentalX Downsview Dental Clinic, healthy gums are the foundation of a healthy smile. That’s why we focus on the regular removal of dental plaque and calculus (tartar) during your professional cleanings.
Plaque is a sticky, almost invisible film that forms on your teeth every day. It contains bacteria, food particles, and saliva. If plaque isn’t removed, the bacteria release toxins that irritate the gums and cause inflammation.
Over time, plaque hardens into calculus, also known as tartar. Once this happens, it becomes firmly attached to the tooth surface and can build up both above and below the gum line. Brushing and flossing alone can no longer remove it—special dental instruments and professional care are required.
When calculus is left untreated, it can lead to swollen, bleeding gums and may progress to gum disease. At DentalX, our gentle and experienced team uses advanced techniques to safely remove plaque and tartar, helping keep your gums healthy and your smile confident.
