How to remove dental plaque in children

Dental plaque in children is often seen, and the disease is very common. We need to protect children's teeth. Generally, children can start brushing their teeth after the age of six, but just be sure to use soft-bristled toothpaste. If you use hard-coated toothpaste, it may affect children's teeth and even have the risk of tooth decay. Children's dental plaque should attract our attention. So, how should children's dental plaque be removed?

1. Specific methods for removing dental plaque

1. Choose the right toothpaste. Toothpaste is really the most important part in dealing with dental plaque. She said that she has tried many kinds of toothpaste. Some toothpastes will cause bleeding gums, while others can improve the bleeding gums, but have no effect on dental plaque and teeth whitening.

2. Toothbrush. The toothbrush I'm currently using is a black one, and it feels quite soft. It doesn’t matter much. The effectiveness of a toothbrush mainly depends on the way people brush their teeth. Anyway, just remember to brush back and forth, and take care of all aspects. With a good toothpaste, there will be basically no problem.

3. How long will it take to see results? Generally speaking, if plaque grows on most of the teeth, it will take a lot of time. It's just a small piece and may disappear in a few days. This is real!!! Pay more attention to brushing! This is a cyclical process, so be patient.

4. It means that you had your teeth cleaned two or three years ago. If it is not particularly serious, it is not recommended. After washing, you will feel sour. It didn't have a big impact, but it felt bad.

5. Regarding bleeding gums or oral ulcers. Buy some mouthwash, it works great!

2. What is the cause of baby's dental plaque?

Dental plaque is a highly adhesive, gel-like bacterial substance, that is, bacterial clumps that are wrapped in a matrix and adhere to each other and to the hard tissue surfaces in the mouth, such as the tooth surfaces, between teeth, and on the surfaces of dentures, and grow and multiply very quickly. When plaque is not mineralized, it has a soft texture but cannot be removed by rinsing the mouth. Dental plaque is attached to the tooth surface and cannot be seen with the naked eye. It can only be displayed using plaque colorants. Most plaque in your mouth can be removed by brushing and flossing. Plaque is the main factor causing dental caries and periodontal disease.

The white, light yellow or light gray tooth attachments that we often see with the naked eye are called soft plaque. It is composed of food debris and bacteria, mostly attached to the neck of the teeth, soft and easily removed by brushing and rinsing.

If you do not brush your teeth carefully for a long time, dental plaque will combine with minerals in the saliva in your mouth to form a rough and hard calcification called tartar, which is commonly known as "dental plaque". Tartar usually accumulates on the neck of the teeth, especially near the opening of the salivary glands. It is more common on the lingual side of the lower front teeth and the buccal side of the maxillary molars. If tartar is not removed in time, it will cause chronic irritation to the gums, which can easily cause the gums to become red, swollen, inflamed, bleeding or pus discharge. Tartar can only be removed by dental professionals using specific oral instruments. Careful brushing of teeth and timely removal of dental plaque and tartar are the most effective ways to prevent gingivitis and periodontitis.
