Dental Plaque: A permanent hazard for teeth and gums. Dental plaque is an invisible film that coats the teeth. It creates a perfect breeding ground where millions of bacteria proliferate, and is often involved in decay of enamel, formation of tartar, sore and/or receding gums. To prevent the damaging effect of dental plaque, it must be removed daily from every surface of each tooth, both on the inside and the outside faces.
