Dental plaque is a soft, colorless deposit that accumulates on teeth. Plaque control through mechanical and chemical removal is the most essential step in maintaining good oral health. There are many techniques for brushing and factors that determine the appropriate selection of interdental aids, like floss, based on the type of embrasures between teeth. Flossing is commonly recommended for removing plaque from between teeth. Gingival massage with devices or toothbrushes produces benefits like epithelial thickening and increased tissue activity.
