Plaque: NOT A DISEASE

- Tartar can lead to anaerobic pockets: Irritate gums
- Tooth enamel will start to demineralization from the acids coming from tartar
Caries: IS DISEASE AKA Cavities
Lain for cariosis: Rotten
- Teeth dissolving
- Fluoride helps, but only up until age 20
Periodontal: After plaque, tartar, and caries: IS A CHRONIC DISEASE
