One of the things your dentist looks for during your routine dental exam is plaque buildup. Plaque can be damaging to teeth, and can cause problems that affect other areas of your oral health. To learn how to keep plaque from building up on your teeth, watch this informative video.
Preventing plaque buildup helps to prevent periodontal disease and keeps your teeth, gums, and mouth healthy. Ways to discourage plaque buildup include brushing twice a day, flossing daily, seeing your dentist for cleanings and exams twice a year, and limiting your snacking. Keeping your sugar consumption to a minimum can help keep plaque from developing on your teeth as well.
