It is based on<strong> three pillars<\/strong>:<strong> proper oral hygiene at home, checkups every 6\u201312 months, and professional cleanings<\/strong>, typically every 6 months. Detecting cavities or gingivitis in their early stages means treating them with simple, conservative procedures, rather than resorting to complex interventions.  <\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Does Plaque Form, and When Does It Turn Into Tartar?<\/h2>\n\n<p>Oral diseases rarely appear suddenly. They develop from the buildup of <strong>bacterial plaque<\/strong>, a film that reforms on the surface of the teeth within a few hours, especially in the spaces between the teeth and along the gum line. <\/p>\n\n<p>If it is not removed every day, plaque begins to <strong>mineralize<\/strong> and, within <strong>24 to 72 hours, turns into tartar<\/strong>\u2014a hard deposit that cannot be removed with a toothbrush. Tartar traps the bacteria responsible for tooth decay and gum inflammation and can only be removed through<a href=\"https:\/\/centridentalizanardi.it\/en\/professional-dental-hygiene\/\">professional dental cleaning<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n<p>Prevention breaks this chain at the point where it is still easy to intervene.<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Dental care starts at home: the daily habits that make a difference<\/h2>\n\n<p>Home hygiene is the first line of defense. It is based on<strong> three actions<\/strong>:   <\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong><a href=\"#spazzolamento-denti\">Proper tooth brushing<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><a href=\"#pulizia-interdentale\">cleaning of the interdental spaces<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><a href=\"#alimentazione\">Diet and Lifestyle<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" id=\"spazzolamento-denti\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Brushing Your Teeth the Right Way<\/h3>\n\n<p>Brushing is the action that removes most of the plaque. The guidelines are as follows: <\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Brush at least<strong> twice a day<\/strong>, in the morning and at night, for about <strong>2 minutes<\/strong> each time<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use a <strong>soft- or medium-bristled<\/strong> toothbrush\u2014manual or electric\u2014and replace it every 3 months, or sooner if the bristles become bent.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Gently move the brush<\/strong> over all surfaces, including the inner surfaces and the gingival sulcus<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use a <strong>fluoride toothpaste<\/strong> containing at least 1,000 ppm of fluoride<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Clean your tongue<\/strong>, where bacteria that cause bad breath accumulate<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>Brushing should be thorough but <strong>not aggressive<\/strong>.
