Dental Plaque is spongy and colorless residue that builds up on the surface of the teeth. It has microorganism that may cause the tooth to decay because of the bacteria growing and it is the major cause of gum diseases. Oral hygiene should be practiced at home starting from the young children where they should be guided in constant cleaning of the teeth as well as develop the habit of regular oral care. Another way of cleaning is the use of dental floss which cleanses particularly in between teeth. Some kids have the habit of sucking thumbs that should be avoided because it can displace teeth. Crooked teeth are harder to clean and to remove the plaque that builds up so it is better to stop some habits of kids that could affect the teeth.
