Prophylactic treatments

Dental plaque is the cause of gingivitis in the majority of cases. This yellow, sticky film, made up of food debris, dead cells, saliva and bacteria, continually forms on the teeth. If it is not removed by brushing, it calcifies and becomes tartar.

Poor dental hygiene is therefore the main explanation for the presence of dental plaque. However, aggravating factors can be added and aggravate or promote gingivitis.
