Dental plaque

From Freepedia

Dental plaque is a yellowish biofilm that builds up on the teeth. If not removed regularly, it can lead to dental cavities (caries) and inflammation of the gums.

The microorganisms that form the biofilm are almost entirely bacteria (mainly streptococcus and anaerobes), with the composition varying by location in the mouth.
