They stained the teeth in the vicinity of the plaque itself so that it can be easily removed. The teeth should be cleaned more carefully twice a day using a toothbrush with a fluoride toothpaste and an appropriate brush or floss should be used to clean the inderdental areas. The plaque not removed turns into tartar, which is a set of plaque, food, bacteria, saliva, minerals that sticks to the teeth and starts to damage it.

- hygiene at home
- social habits (smoking or not)
