PLAQUE & TARTAR. Plaque is a sticky, colorless film of bacteria that constantly forms on our teeth and along the gum line. Plaque contains bacteria that cause cavities and gum disease. Tartar is calcified or hardened plaque that attaches to the enamel on your teeth and below the gum line.
Plaque is the stuff that can accumulate in your arteries and block blood flow, causing you to have a heart attack or stroke. The medical term for plaque buildup is atherosclerosis. A heart scan will tell you and your doctor how much calcium is in the plaque that lines the inside of your arteries.
