Brilio.net - Having stubborn yellow dental plaque that is difficult to remove is indeed annoying. The reason is, this yellow dental plaque gives an unattractive appearance. Because the teeth look dirty and give the impression of being dirty. It's not surprising that a number of people are trying to find ways to get rid of yellow plaque on their teeth.

Before knowing the tricks for getting rid of yellow plaque on your teeth, you need to first find out the cause of the plaque. This step is taken so that the yellow plaque on the teeth does not return .

Plaque forms when bacteria in the mouth produce acid from food residue left on the teeth. These bacteria then stick to the surface of the teeth and form a sticky layer called plaque.

Apart from being caused by a buildup of food and drink residue, the appearance of plaque can come from smoking habits. The chemicals contained in cigarettes can damage tooth structure and accelerate plaque formation. Apart from that, cigarette smoke can also change the color of your teeth yellow or brown.

Of all the causes above, the most influential is lack of oral hygiene. It is common knowledge that the mouth is a part of the body, which is useful for chewing food. Well, a mouth that doesn't brush regularly increases the risk of plaque and other problems.

To restore white color to yellow teeth , you don't need to worry. There is one method that you can use and don't need to overspend. This step is similar to that taken by a content creator in the beauty sector, namely Marisha Chacha.
