Why you have to brush and floss everyday

The reason you have to brush and floss everyday is because when you eat the bacteria in your mouth sticks to the left over food stuck on your teeth. The bacteria then forms a film called plaque. You need to brush and floss your teeth because  the bacteria in that plaque can then start to eat away at your gum tissue and supporting bone around the tooth. Also plaque left behind also becomes worse and hardens and turns into calculus also known as tartar. Calculus can only be removed at the Dentist. When calculus is present, Gum tissue and bone become eaten away by the bacteria often times faster. Don’t let that happen to you. Brush, floss, and get your teeth cleaned at the Dentist a minimum every 6 months and some people need to get their teeth cleaned at 3 or 4 month intervals. Many people in Upland go see Dr. Bryan Stevens for his thorough dental cleanings.
