I see and I think what they were referring to was calculus (tartar) which is visible on regular x-rays as well as digital x-rays. Plaque, being a sticky film of bacteria, is not visible on any type of x-rays. Please understand, I'm not being picky, just concerned that incorrect information might be posted.
