  1. Understanding Plaque and How to Prevent It Dental plaque is a sticky, colourless film of bacteria that forms on your teeth and gums throughout the day. If not removed through regular brushing and flossing, plaque can harden into tartar, leading to cavities, gum disease, and bad breath. Causes of Plaque Buildup Plaque develops when bacteria in your mouth feed on sugars and starches from food and drinks. These bacteria produce acids that attack tooth enamel and irritate gum tissue. Common culprits include sugary snacks, soft drinks, and poor oral hygiene habits. Effective Plaque Prevention Tips ● Brush Twice Daily: Use a fluoride toothpaste and a soft-bristle toothbrush to clean all surfaces of your teeth. ● Floss Daily: Flossing removes food particles and plaque from between your teeth and under the gumline. ● Limit Sugary Foods and Drinks: Reduce your intake of sugary snacks and beverages to decrease plaque formation. ● Regular Dental Checkups: Visit your local dentist in the Sunshine Coast regularly for professional cleanings and early detection of dental issues.
