Plaque and calculus are not cavities, but they can lead to cavities. A cavity is basically a hole in the tooth caused by decay. Because plaque and calculus contain bacteria, the bacteria release acids which accelerate tooth decay and eventually lead to more cavities.

Teeth whitening and teeth bleaching, however, mean two different things in cosmetic dentistry. Surface cracks and stains occur on tooth enamel, exposing the yellower dentin below the surface.

Foods and beverages that are both dark colored and acidic – like wine, coffee, and tomato sauce – have even greater staining power.
