CORRECT TOOTH BRUSHING TECHNIQUE
Toothbrushing is the most common method used to remove plaque from the easily accessible flat surfaces of the teeth, but not from the interdental areas.
In an increasingly appearance-conscious society, tooth whitening is becoming a more popular treatment . In the majority of cases, it is carried out for aesthetic reasons however, some patients have unnaturally dark teeth that cause great embarrassment and low self-esteem.
As with fillings, microscopically, all fixed prosthetic restorations provide a surface area for the attachment of plaque and oral bacteria. any plaque accumulation can potentially cause either caries of the underlying tooth core or periodontal disease down the root of the tooth.
