What is placque?

A plaque is a sticky, colorless film of bacteria and sugars that constantly forms on our teeth. It is the main cause of tooth decay and gum disease. Plaque buildup can cause inflammation of the gums and bleeding, and can lead to the development of cavities and tooth loss. Plaque can be removed by brushing and flossing regularly, and by visiting the dentist for professional cleanings. It is important to maintain good oral hygiene to prevent plaque buildup and maintain healthy teeth and gums.
