What Is Plaque?
Dental plaque is a general term for the diverse microbial community
(predominantly bacteria) found on the tooth surface, embedded in
a matrix of polymers of bacterial and salivary origin. Plaque develops
naturally on teeth. Plaque is a sticky, colorless film of bacteria
and sugars that constantly forms on our teeth. It is the main cause
of cavities and gum disease, and can harden into tartar if not removed
daily.
How Do I Know if I Have Plaque?
The attachment, growth, removal and reattachment of bacteria to
the tooth surface are a continuous and dynamic process. These bacteria
use ingredients found in our diet and saliva to grow. Plaque causes
cavities when the acids from plaque attack teeth after eating. With
repeated acid attacks, the tooth enamel can break down and a cavity
may form. Plaque that is not removed can also irritate the gums
around your teeth, leading to gingivitis (red, swollen, bleeding
gums), periodontal disease and tooth loss.
How Can I Prevent Plaque Buildup?
It's easy to prevent plaque buildup with proper care. Make sure
to:
Brush thoroughly at least twice a day to remove plaque from
all surfaces of your teeth
Floss daily to remove plaque from between your teeth and under
your gumline, where your toothbrush may not reach
Limit sugary or starchy foods, especially sticky snacks
Schedule regular dental visits for professional cleanings and
dental examinations.
