Here’s how to remove plaque from teeth...
Floss daily - Floss once a day with dental floss to get rid of food and plaque stuck between teeth. Studies show that flossing before brushing teeth removes more plaque.
Brush twice a day - Brush your teeth for two minutes with a soft-bristled toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste. Brush at least twice a day and preferably after every meal.
Chew sugarless gum - If you can’t brush soon after eating or drinking, chew sugar-free gum. Choose a kind that has the American Dental Association (ADA) Seal of Acceptance.
Choose healthy foods - Cut back on sugary, starchy foods and drinks. Instead, choose nutritious foods and snacks such as plain yogurt, cheese, raw vegetables or fruit.
See your dentist - Get dental checkups and cleanings at least twice a year.
Use mouthwash - Rinse daily with an over-the-counter (OTC) or prescription antiseptic mouthwash.
