The 4-stage development of Plaque

Most dental diseases are caused by bacteria inhabiting the oral cavity. A plaque biofilm is formed when bacteria gathers on the tooth surface and margin of the gum line.

 

Plaque, when left unchecked, increase and strengthens over time and can lead to more serious issues. Thankfully, plaque is easy to fight with a proper oral care routine that includes brushing, flossing, and rinsing with an antiseptic mouthwash like LISTERINE^®.
