Dental plaque causes oral diseases such as cavities, gingivitis and periodontitis. More importantly, it can calcify and form what\u2019s called tartar. Tartar, like plaque, is an irritant for gums and also causes gingivitis and periodontitis.<\/p>\n<p>Each visit includes:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>An assessment of your overall health<\/li>\n<li>X-rays as
