Plaque is not good for your teeth. It is a sticky film of bacteria that can lead to tooth decay and gum disease if not removed regularly through proper oral hygiene.
Yes, teeth can still deteriorate even if they are not in the mouth. This can be due to exposure to bacteria, plaque, and other factors that contribute to tooth decay. Proper care should be taken to preserve teeth if they are removed.
Nice, we had the same textbook and had trouble on the same question. I'm probably too late to help you out but for anyone else having the same issue... Eubacteria is the cause of caries and cavities. When you get plaque on your teeth, that's a film of eubacteria forming over your teeth, the exact same kind that causes leprosy, tetanus, certain forms of pneumonia, whooping cough, etc. It also is usually spread when you sneeze (that's right, the same stuff that causes all these terrible diseases causes plaque, caries, and every time you sneeze you launch one or two of these suckers for every drop. Sneeze in your arm, not your hands).
Plaque builds up in large- and medium-sized arteries as people get older, more in some people than others depending on lifestyle and hereditary factors. This build up is a vascular disease called atherosclerosis

Plaque can be prevented from forming by cleaning and flossing your teeth regularly and not eating too many sweets. Also by eating less foods that are not friendly with your teeth. Follow this and it is extremely unlikely to get plaque on your teeth.
The coating on your teeth is called plaque. Plaque is a build up of bacteria that can eat away at the coating of your teeth. Brushing and flossing is important and can prevent this.
A lil bit of plaque on teeth is important because it makes it so you don't take the enamel off of them, which is very important for your teeth to have so they don't rot.
Sugar effects your teeth because it mixes with the plaque which creates and acid thats rotts your teeth. we brush our teeth in the morning to get rid of the plaque so that when we eat food there is no plaque there to mix with the food to make that acid and you should do the same in the night swell.
