Remove plaque, brush: Plaque builds up over tooth structure and accumulates and grows. Check with your dentist about a more efficient home care brushing technique to keep the plaque build up from growing over your teeth and fillings. Also, how often you brush. Three times a day is recommended, after meals and before bed time.

Prophylaxis: Teeth cleaning (also known as prophylaxis) is a procedure for the removal of tartar (mineralized plaque) that may develop even with careful brushing and flossing, especially in areas that are difficult to reach in routine toothbrushing. It is often done by a dental hygienist. This involves the use of various instruments to remove the yellow from dental fillings.

Dental cleaning: See your dentist for a professional cleaning. It might take repolishing or replacing the fillings to get them the color you want. Cleaning first to see what changes can be made. Good luck.
