Plaque is made up of invisible masses of harmful germs that live in the mouth and stick to the teeth. Some types of plaque cause tooth decay. Other types of plaque cause gum disease.

Red gums, swollen or bleeding may be early signs of gum disease. If gum disease is not treated, the tissues that hold teeth in place are destroyed and may cause eventually lost of teeth.

Plaque can hardly be seen, unless it is dyed. You can color a plaque by chewing red tablets "revealing" that are sold in grocery stores or pharmacies. You can also use a green food coloring gel. The red or green and impregnated stain on the teeth, where it is still shown where to go plate and brush again to remove.

Color and examine your teeth regularly and to make sure you are removing all plaque.

Consult your dentist or dental hygienist for better dental treatment for plaque.

How to fight plaque and prevent diseases of the teeth and gums?

1. Floss: Floss to remove germs and food particles between teeth, floss moving up and down. Insert the floss between teeth gently you could hurt the gums.

2. Toothbrush: Use any tooth brushing method that is most comfortable, but do not rub vigorously from side to side. Small circular motions and short back movements across is best. Use a fluoride toothpaste. Fluoride protects teeth against cavities. And improved sense of wellbeing, brush your tongue and rinse again.

Food residues, especially sweets, provide nutrients for the germs that cause tooth decay, as well as those that cause gum disease. For this reason it is important to remove all food residue and plaque from the teeth. Remove the plate at least once a day, twice a day is much better. If you just brush and floss once a day, do it before bedtime.

This plaque can lead to tooth decay, irritation and inflammation of the gums (gingivitis) and cause bad breath (halitosis). When this layer is not removed from the teeth hardens and becomes tartar. In this case, only a dentist can remove it with proper dental cleaning, which involves the removal of plaque from the crown and root of the teeth.
