Plaque contains many different types of bacteria, some of which are associated with developing gum disease. Most people develop some dental plaque, however, only some people develop gum disease. It is thought that infection is more likely to develop if defense against bacteria is reduced in some way, such as an excessive intake of sugar or lack of hygiene.
Plaque is a soft, sticky film that builds up on your teeth and contains millions of bacteria. The bacteria in plaque cause tooth decay and gum disease if they are not removed regularly through brushing and flossing.When you eat, the bacteria in plaque use the sugars in your food to produce acids that eat away at the tooth enamel. Repeated attacks cause the enamel to break down, eventually resulting in a cavity (or hole) in the tooth surface.
Everyone knows that cleaning your teeth is important and that the basic necessities for doing so include toothpaste and a toothbrush. Every time you turn on the television, there are commercials for a new and expensive toothbrush, special toothpaste or tooth whitening system. These products are not only expensive, but many of them contain harsh chemicals. Instead of subjecting yourself to these chemicals, try making homemade products to clean, freshen and brighten your smile.
