title: Strategies to inhibit formation, plaque buildup.
abstract: Some people are more concerned with the appearance of their teeth than with their overall oral health. People want their teeth to look and feel good, and they don't want cavities. More informed patients question dental teams about potential problems such as periodontal disease, oral cancer and, occasionally, temporomandibular disorders.
