by daily brushing.
Everyone develops plaque, as it is constantly forming in our
mouths. It is very important to remove plaque from your teeth as
it is the first stage towards more serious problems such as
cavities and gum disease. The bacteria used in the ingredients
found in our diet and saliva to grow. Plaque can irritate the gums
around the teeth leading to gingivitis.
