Hi. I have mild gum recession. I've been angling the brush at 45 degrees along the gum line and flossing, but I can still scrape away a little plaque along the gum line after I brush. This whole process takes 30-45 min? Suggestions?

In general, when I brush and floss at bedtime does a bacteria biofilm actually form on teeth by the morning? And, if not removed, night time brushing will not really remove it as it has turned to hard tarter/plaque?
