How to prevent plaque deposition on teeth?
Plaque is a soft, sticky film that builds up on your teeth. This sticky coating contains millions of bacteria in your mouth. The bacteria in plaque cause tooth decay, gum disease and making an acid that is corrosive to your teeth earlier. If they are not removed regularly through brushing and flossing, then professional cleaning of teeth is required.

Healthy smile depends on good oral hygiene. So brushing properly, flossing, dentist visit and using mouthwash are basic to maintaining good oral hygiene.
The best way to remove plaque from teeth is as follows.

  • Use fluoride toothpaste.
  • Brush your teeth twice a day.
  • Use tartar control toothpaste.
  • Brush with baking soda mixture.
  • Use aloe vera gel and glycerine scrub.
  • Use orange peel.
  • Add fruits and vegetables in your meal.
  • Chew sesame seeds.
  • Chew guava leaves then split out. This process continues twice a day.
  • Avoid sugary food like chocolate, sweet etc
  • Visit dentist routinely for a checkup like cleaning process.
