Brush, floss daily: Sounds like you're asking how to stop plaque from accumulating on your teeth. Plaque is a sticky film from germs, food particles and saliva that starts to form soon after eating. You can remove soft plaque by brushing and flossing daily. Clean your gums and tongue too. If plaque hardens into tartar a dentist must scrape it off. Fluoride and chewing gum with xylitol may help lessen accumulations.

Brush and floss: Plaque is a film of bacteria that naturally attaches to teeth. It can be removed by good oral hygiene (brushing and flossing) and professional dental cleanings. If it is not removed after about 10 days, it hardens into calculus which can only be removed by a dental professional. It is important to remove plaque, because it can cause gingivitis, periodontal disease, bone loss, and even tooth loss.

Brush: Just so we are talking about the same thing, plaque is the soft stuff that easily comes off, and tartar is the calcified stuff. We all get plaque, every day, and if you notice it on your teeth, it is only there because you miss it when you brush or floss. Refine your technique and see what happens!

Get healthy: Start with an examination by a Dentist to determine what's wrong, and what needs to be done to fix it. Have Dentist/Hygienist professionally clean your teeth to remove plaque (bacteria/food debris that infect teeth/gums) and calculus (tatter) that irritates gums. Follow your Dentist's instructions to create a healthy mouth, then return for regular care as often as he/she suggests.
