Answer:
A sticky film that coats teeth and contains bacteria.
If dental plaque isn't removed when it's soft, it hardens and becomes difficult to remove. Dental plaque can damage a tooth and lead to tooth decay or tooth loss.

- Dental plaque is a sticky, colourless or pale yellow coating that forms on your teeth all the time.
- Plaque, which includes germs, develops between your teeth and along the gum line when saliva, food, and fluids come together.
- Plaque is made up of bacteria rather than being nourishment for them.
- Dental plaque forms on teeth 4-12 hours after brushing, which is why brushing thoroughly at least twice a day and cleaning between teeth once a day is so important.
