Bacteria: The bacteria that reside in your mouth form colonies called plaque. This can be brushed and flossed away. If it hardens, the it is called calculus and it needs to be scraped off by a dentist.

Poor home care: Brushing and proper flossing is essential. Also dental cleanings on a regular basis.
