Deposits [accretions] on teeth - what does this mean

Deposits on teeth occur when there is an accumulation of bacteria, food particles, and saliva on the teeth, which form a sticky film called plaque. when plaque is not removed through brushing and flossing, it builds up and hardens, forming deposits on the teeth. these deposits can cause tooth decay and gum disease if they are not removed.

What happens during the disease - deposits [accretions] on teeth

Deposits on teeth are caused by a build-up of plaque and tartar, which are made up of bacteria, food particles, and saliva. the bacteria in the plaque and tartar produce acids that wear away the enamel on the surface of the teeth, leading to cavities and other tooth decay. the acids also cause the bacteria to stick to the teeth, forming a sticky film of bacteria and food particles that can accumulate and form deposits. if left untreated, the deposits can lead to gum disease and other serious oral health problems.
