Having a clean mouth is important. It gives you fresh breath and a nicer-looking smile. The best way to remove decay-causing plaque is by brushing and cleaning between your teeth three times a day every day. Brushing removes plaque from the tooth surfaces. Cleaning between the teeth once a day with floss or interdental cleaners removes plaque from between the teeth and in the areas where your toothbrush can’t reach. It is essential in preventing gum disease.
