What is calcification?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Plaque builup: Calcification of your teeth is classified with periodontal disease. As plaque builds up on your teeth, it hardens, causing a thick buildup that can be white or yellow in color. This calcification can lead to tooth decay and gum disease if not treated. Although regular visits to your dentist should be enough to stave off this condition, proper is key.
