What plaque is
Within hours after cleaning, a soft film rebuilds on teeth. Bacteria in that film feed on sugars and starches and release acids that can soften enamel and inflame gums.
Soft vs hard
Soft plaque you can remove at home. Once it mineralizes into tartar, only a dental professional can scrape it off safely.
Technique over force
Hard scrubbing can wear enamel and push gums back. Short, gentle strokes along the gumline do more good.
Where it hides
Behind lower front teeth, along the gumline, and between molars are classic hideouts. Slow down in those spots.
