Medical Conditions - Dental Plaque

Dental plaque is the soft and sticky film that form over the teeth every day. It results from living microorganisms, which are surrounded by a gluey layer. If this layer is not cleaned every day by brushing and flossing, then the minerals from the saliva solidify this layer and form tartar.
