My teeth are in good health and I take good care of them, yet I always get this plaque buildup no matter what I try.

I’ve tried different brushes, toothpastes, and flossing methods to no avail. Mouthwash is too harsh on my mouth and peels my skin off so I avoid that.

I haven’t tried waterpicks or electric brushes yet. Did you? Did they work for you? Have you succeeded in preventing plaque and if so, how???

    Thanks, I don’t believe it’s the brushing. I’ve done that with several dentists and my brushing is fine. The plaque builds where the brush doesn’t reach, often right under the gums.

    I’ve never had anyone say to brush only from the gum to the tooth ends, this makes sense and might be helpful
