Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the composition of dental plaque: Dental plaque is primarily composed of bacteria and their byproducts, which form a sticky biofilm on the surface of teeth.
Recognize the implications of dental plaque: If not removed, dental plaque can lead to tooth decay and gum disease due to the acids produced by bacteria.
Identify the nature of dental plaque: Dental plaque is a biofilm, which is a structured community of microorganisms encapsulated within a self-produced matrix.
