Regular dental cleanings and checkups are vital to the maintenance of good oral health.
Brushing twice daily and flossing once daily will help minimize potential surprises at dental checkups.
Still, it is very common to have tartar/calculus accumulation on teeth even despite brushing or flossing at home, due to naturally-occurring components of saliva.
Increased plaque on tooth surfaces leads to inflammation of gum tissue, which in turn promotes destruction of bone and loosening teeth; this is the progression from gum disease (gingivitis) to periodontal disease.

Fillings are materials placed in or on a tooth to replace missing tooth structure, which most commonly results from cavities (caries, or tooth decay).
Fillings can also be used for teeth that developed abnormally or have become cracked or chipped.
There are different filling materials; our office usually uses tooth-colored composite material unless otherwise indicated.
Common places to need fillings are between tightly-touching back teeth, and in the grooves on the biting surfaces of back teeth.

A crown (or cap) is a ceramic, metal, or combined metal/porcelain shell that fits over a tooth.
There are many reasons a crown may be indicated for your tooth; large, leaking fillings, teeth with fillings on multiple surfaces, cracked or broken teeth, improperly formed enamel, cavities below the gumline, and teeth at risk of further fracture (including root canal-treated teeth) are some possible indications for a crown.
A crown can also be done for cosmetic reasons, to change the shape or color of a tooth.
