Professional teeth cleanings involve the removal of plaque and calculus. A thin layer of film that forms on the teeth is known as Plaque. It contains bacteria produced by the food and saliva. The bacteria in plaque, if left untreated, eats away at the enamel of the tooth and may cause tooth decay, inflammation of the gums, periodontitis (gum disease), and even tooth loss. This plaque converts into a harder substance and becomes calculus when left untreated.
