https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🦠" title="Microbe" aria-label="Emoji: Microbe"> Plaque is the major cause of bleeding gums. Plaque is a sticky, colorless or pale yellow film that is constantly forming on your teethhttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🦷" title="Tooth" aria-label="Emoji: Tooth">

When saliva https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💦" title="Schweißtropfen" aria-label="Emoji: Schweißtropfen"> , food https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🍲" title="Topf mit Essen" aria-label="Emoji: Topf mit Essen"> and fluids combine, plaque - which contains bacteria https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🦠" title="Microbe" aria-label="Emoji: Microbe"> - forms between your teeth and along the gum line

The dirt on the tiles wouldn’t disappear until you apply a sponge https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🧽" title="Sponge" aria-label="Emoji: Sponge"> in conjunction with a good detergent to remove it.
