We know that too many
women are without health
coverage and/or access to
quality health care in their com­
munities, and while they many
try to get prenatal care, it isn't
always possible. We also know
that problems like crack addic­
tion and teen pregnancy are
causing more babies to be born
too small and too soon.

Dental experts indicate that there are two primary cause of tooth 10 s
in adults 3S years of ale and older. One cause i gum (periodontal) disease
and the other is tooth decay (dental caries). Much of the dental education
directed at the public i tarleted tQward the prevention of gum dise and
tooth decay. One of the major factors in the development of both
conditions is the pre nee of plaque on the gum and teeth.
Dental plaque is stic y, colorle film of bacteria that i con tantly
fonninl in the mouth. After a meal that is e pecially high in ugar, plaque
begins to form. If plaque is not removed within a reasonable period of time
through brushina and the use of dental floss, it tends to harden into a
material that is called calcul or "tartar." Tartar i difficult to remove and
often require the rvices of a dental hygieni tor denti t. Tartar- control
tooth , are promoted products that slow the rate at which plaque is
converted into the harder tartar material.
