How to remove dental plaque?

We often use "bright eyes and white teeth" to describe a person's beauty. It can be seen that a mouthful of white teeth will add a lot of points to a person's appearance. However, some people often develop dental plaque due to various reasons, such as chewing betel nut, drinking coffee, taking tetracycline drugs, drinking water quality, etc., which will greatly reduce the beauty of the person. So is there any way to remove dental plaque?

1. Brushing your teeth: Brushing your teeth is a basic measure to remove dental plaque and it is also the most important method. If you brush your teeth properly, you can greatly reduce the amount of plaque on the surface of your teeth. Therefore, we must develop a good habit of brushing our teeth every morning and evening, and master the correct brushing method.

2. Dental floss:

Simply brushing your teeth cannot effectively remove plaque from the adjacent surfaces of your teeth, so other auxiliary products are needed. Dental floss is one of them. Dental floss can effectively remove dental plaque on the adjacent surfaces of teeth and prevent periodontal disease and interproximal caries.

3. Toothpicks:

When the gums recede and gaps (interdental spaces) appear between the teeth, you need to use a toothpick to remove food, soft plaque and some dental plaque from the adjacent surfaces of the teeth. The cross-section of the toothpicks currently sold in the Chinese market is circular, and there are also toothpicks with a triangular cross-section in foreign countries.

4. Oral irrigator: Oral irrigator uses high-pressure water column to remove food debris and loose dental plaque from tooth surface and tooth spaces. The pressure of the water column can be adjusted according to personal circumstances, and it is very convenient to use. After brushing your teeth every night, you can use an oral irrigator to rinse the tooth surface and interdental spaces, which can assist in cleaning your teeth. But it is only suitable for certain groups of people and cannot be used by everyone.

Paying attention to oral hygiene, brushing your teeth in the morning and evening, gargling with light salt water after meals, etc., can effectively prevent the appearance of dental plaque. If dental plaque appears, you can use the above method to remove it. In addition to these methods, using mouthwash, going to the dentist for teeth cleaning, etc. can effectively solve the problem of dental plaque.
