| Preventing
Plaque |
|
|
Plaque is a sticky, colourless
deposit of bacteria that is constantly forming on the tooth surface.
Saliva, food and fluids combine to produce these deposits that collect
where the teeth and gums meet. Plaque buildup can trap stains on teeth
and is the primary factor in periodontal (gum) disease. |
| How Do I Get Rid of Plaque? |
| To prevent the buildup of
plaque, be sure to floss once a day and brush your teeth at least
twice a day with a fluoride, anti-plaque toothpaste, like Crest Pro-Health.
Adding Crest Pro-Health Rinse to your routine provides protection
against plaque, without the burning sensation of alcohol. Eating well-balanced
meals and brushing after snacks can help reduce the formation of plaque.
Visit your dentist regularly for oral exams and cleanings. |
