Q.

Hello Jose! Well, I was wondering if you can help me. My bottom four teeth tend to build up a lot of plaque behind them, I brush vigorously behind them trying to remove it, but always it builds up again! When i visit my dentist he removes it with his scrubber machine! And tells me to brush more regularly, i do this but it never seems to work. Can you tell me if this has anything to do with maybe some gum disease i have or give me some tips on how to improve this problem? Thanks alot mate!

Can I keep bacteria from settling by swilling water constantly?

Q.

good afternoon,
I have been doing a bit of online research and have found that the flow of saliva plays a massive part in getting rid of bacterium and plaque obviously not getting rid of it all but helping. so then I had this thought. if it takes around Fifteen minutes for plaque to build up after a snack or meal whilst out of the house could I swill my mouth with a drink- water! in order to aid the saliva’s job or disrupting the bacteria as it tries to form? would this be a good idea? I have a two pin sized holes either side of my top, right, central incisor. I was hoping by doing this I could help stop them growing bigger? are they a sign of periodontitis/gingivitus/neither and if so will this help
