Effective teeth cleaning forms the basis of a healthy mouth. Good oral care is literally in your hands. Maintaining good oral care means you will prevent problems with your teeth and saves you a lot of expense.
Many problems are created by the presence of plaque and subsequently tartar. Plaque is a compound deposit of bacteria, that turns hard when it changes into tartar, leading to holes and inflammation. Plaque is regularly found between teeth and molars and in hard to reach places, for a toothbrush.
Brushing, flossing, and applying dental sticks to remove plaque
You can remove plaque on the outside of your teeth and molars with regular and thorough brushing. As your toothbrush cannot reach in between your teeth or molars, it is important to clean the areas between your teeth and molars daily with dental sticks, flossing or inter dental brushes, whichever is more convenient for you.
