Floss daily to remove plaque from between teeth and under your gumline where your toothbrush may not reach. And visit your dentist and hygienist regularly for professional cleanings.

Soon after brushing, a thin, sticky layer of bacteria forms on the surface of all the teeth. This layer of bacteria is called plaque. See similar questions...

Plaque can also produce harmful byproducts that irritate the gums, causing gingivitis, the early stage of periodontal diseases. If plaque isn’t removed daily, it will build up into a hard deposit called calculus. If plaque continues to form on top of the calculus, it can irritate the gums, and a pocket may develop between the teeth and gums. Plaque build up can eventually destroy the gums and bone that support the teeth. See similar questions...

Plaque can also cause inflammation of the gums and tooth pulp, and ultimately lead to tooth loss. The main cause of plaque formation is poor oral hygiene. See similar questions...
