Dental Plaque

Dental Plaque is a soft transparent film that builds up on your teeth. The dental plaque is caused by bacteria that live in the mouth. If your diet includes a lot of raw and fibrous foods then a god deal of the dental plaque will be removed by just consuming these foods. However the modern man diet usually includes heavily processed foods, which are easy to chew and won’t remove the dental plaque. In order to remove the dental plaque you need to brush and floss your teeth regularly. If the dental plaque is not removed regularly, it builds up to a ticker layer called tartar. When this happens the bacteria closer to the teeth start anaerobic respiration, which produces acids that eventually damage the tooth surface resulting in dental caries. If you want to have healthy teeth, then it’s very important to remove the dental plaque daily.
