You can brush twice a day and still miss what is driving the problem.
Plaque is a living biofilm. It clings to teeth, builds at the gumline, and creates the conditions that drive gingivitis, decay, and deeper periodontal issues over time.
This is not rare. About 4 in 10 U.S. adults 30+ have periodontitis, and 1 in 5 adults ages 20ā64 is living with at least one untreated cavity.
Your toothbrush cleans the surface of your teeth. It does not stop bacteria from rebuilding at and below the gumline, where the real problem often starts.
Thatās why oral care should not stop at brushing.
It should think beyond bristles.
