Missing teeth can affect more than just your smile. They can lead to shifting teeth and changes in your bite over time 🦷

When a tooth is lost, nearby teeth can move out of place, making it harder to chew and keep your teeth clean. Replacing missing teeth early helps maintain alignment, balance your bite, and support long-term oral health.

Brush gently along the gumline, floss every day, and watch for signs like redness, swelling, or bleeding. Catching these early can make a big difference in keeping your gums healthy.

Your smile can feel the effects of stress more than you think!

Plaque is a soft, sticky film of bacteria that forms on your teeth daily, while tartar is hardened plaque that builds up when it isn’t removed in time 🦷

Once plaque turns into tartar, it can’t be brushed away and needs a professional cleaning to remove it and protect your gums.

Did you know plaque can harden that quickly? Tell us what you’ve heard or experienced in the comments! 😄
