What is Plaque?
How to 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.
Use a quality toothbrush, such as any manual or rechargeable toothbrush and remember to replace it every three months or as soon as the bristles look worn.
Adding a mouth rinse to your routine provides 24-hour* protection against plaque and gingivitis.
Eating well-balanced meals and brushing after snacks will also reduce the formation of plaque. Visit your dentist regularly for oral exams and cleanings, during which he or she will scrape away any accumulated and hardened plaque (otherwise known as tartar) with a special instrument.
