Ways You Can Prevent Plaque Buildup

Plaque is the sticky, colorless film of bacteria that forms on teeth. It makes teeth feel fuzzy to the tongue and is most noticeable when teeth are not brushed. To prevent plaque buildup, brush your teeth at least twice a day with a soft, rounded-tip bristled toothbrush. Floss between teeth at least once a day to remove food particles and bacteria. Use an antibacterial mouth rinse to reduce bacteria that cause plaque and gum disease. Eat a balanced diet and limit the number of between-meal snacks.

  1. Ways You Can Prevent Plaque Buildup Tooth plaque is a fact of life -- everyone gets it. It’s the sticky film that forms when bacteria in your mouth build up on your teeth. When plaque hangs around for too long, your choppers pay the price. You can’t evict bacteria from your mouth (some kinds are actually good for you), but you can nip plaque buildup with these tips. 1.Brush at least twice a day, the right way: It’s especially important to get your bedtime brushing in, she says, because without it, plaque sits on your teeth all night long. 2. Clean between your teeth: Your teeth aren’t the only places where plaque gathers. It also hides in the spaces between your teeth. Floss or other tools that reach that are key.You should floss at least once each day. 3. Swish with mouthwash: For many people, antibacterial mouthwash can be another option in their plaque prevention toolkit.Some mouthwashes with alcohol can dry your mouth out. That’s not good for plaque prevention. 4. Skimp on the sugar and starch: When you finish eating, bacteria rush to the sugar left in your mouth and feed on it. The more sugary your food, the more bacteria there are to deal with when you brush. Source: webmd.com w w w . s u n r i s e - d e n t i s t r y . c o m
