Plaque on children’s teeth can be removed by brushing, flossing, and ultrasonic cleaning with the help of an adult or a doctor. Teeth cleaning should go to the regular oral health care institutions.
1. Brushing: plaque on children’s teeth is mainly due to the accumulation of bacteria, food tartar and epithelial cells shedding on the surface of the teeth to form a plaque, which can not be removed by simple gargling, and parents need to actively guide the children to use soft-bristled toothbrushes or interdental brushes and other instruments to clean in order to basically remove dental plaque.
2. Flossing: For the plaque on the neighboring surfaces of children’s teeth, daily brushing may lead to plaque residue, and professional dentists need to guide them to learn how to use dental floss, so as to effectively clean the plaque between the neighboring surfaces of the teeth.
3. Ultrasonic cleaning: If the plaque on the surface of the teeth of small children is more serious, or even has begun to form calculus, it is best to go to the hospital stomatology department to find a doctor to use ultrasonic cleaning, in order to completely remove plaque.
