How to prevent dental plaque?

Prevention methods.

Almost everyone has plaque on their teeth, albeit to varying degrees. Until a certain time, the plaque is soft and can be easily cleaned with a toothbrush or dental floss, however, when the norms of oral hygiene are violated, the plaque hardens and turns into a stone. Only a dentist can remove the stone.

One of the effective methods of plaque prevention is taking care of the health of teeth and gums.

Recommended:

  •  Clean the tooth with dental floss;
  •  Brush your teeth twice a day;
  •  After eating, if you cannot brush your teeth, chew sugar-free chewing gum;
  •  Limit foods and drinks containing sugar in the diet;
  •  Twice a year, evaluate the condition of the oral cavity at the dentist;
  •  Use mouthwash.
