Anything that can help disrupt plaque on a daily basis is going to be beneficial to your dental health. It all comes down to the basics.
The BasicsPlaque is the enemy. The bacteria form this themselves. It gives them a shield against oxygen. Once Shielded they can product acidic waste byproducts that are responsible for gum disease, cavities and even bad breath.
When plaque is intact, the bacteria grow fast - forming ever larger colonies that have the capability to cause harm to your dental health in the ways just mentioned.
When plaque is disrupted, the underlying bacteria is exposed to oxygen. Most of them cannot tolerate that and therefore they cannot form or maintain colonies large enough to pose a threat to your teeth and gums.

When plaque is not disrupted, it can form into tartar. Tartar cannot be eliminated by normal methods and thus it forms a great shield for the bacteria. This is why dental hygienists are needed. They can remove the tartar for you that your toothbrush, dental floss and even other tools cannot.
