Dental Plaque
Prevention For Dental Plaque
Plaque is an insidious substance: a colorless, sticky film that blankets your teeth and creates an environment in which bacteria erodes tooth enamel, causes gum irritation, infection in inner structures such as the pulp and the roots, and in extreme cases, tooth loss.
Some of the biggest culprits causing plaque are foods rich in sugar and carbohydrates, including soda beverages, candy and many kinds of pasta, breads and cereals.
Plaque also can attack fillings and crowns in your mouth, which can require replacement of current restorations.
