Are plaque and tartar different? Great question! Yes, they are. Plaque is a film containing bacteria that naturally builds up on tooth surfaces if not brushed off. Tartar is calcified plaque and is much harder to remove. The best way to prevent both and protect your teeth is to brush and floss twice daily, and to never miss your appointments with us! 785-460-6800 – the only line you need to get started on your journey to a happy and healthy smile!😁

Although dental x-rays are commonly used today to identify a variety of oral health issues, they were invented unintentionally! In 1895, German physicist Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen accidentally discovered X-rays when experimenting with cathode rays. His discovery revolutionized medicine and dentistry - hence, when you visit us you may need an x-ray! Contact us today at 785-460-6800 to address your oral health needs!
