When plaque and tartar are allowed to build up in your mouth just below the gum line, your gums will eventually move away from your teeth and form pockets in your mouth, which will fill with even more plaque. This build-up leads to periodontal diseases. Bacteria will cause an inflammation of your gums (Gingivitis) and if that is not treated, it will eventually lead to a break-down of the bone and connective tissue which keeps your teeth in place.

Prevention is much cheaper than treatment. Unbelievably so. Even in Thailand. Besides brushing and flossing, the most important thing you can do to prevent or at least slow down the disease that affects more than half of the adult population is regular professional cleaning of your teeth. That costs time and a little money. Not to do it will cost more time and unproportionately more money in your future. Trust me, I learned the hard way.
