My teeth are in good health and I take good care of them, yet I always get this plaque buildup no matter what I try.

I've tried different brushes, toothpastes, and flossing methods to no avail. Mouthwash is too harsh on my mouth and peels my skin off so I avoid that.

I haven't tried waterpicks or electric brushes yet. Did you? Did they work for you? Have you succeeded in preventing plaque and if so, how???

Thanks for the tips! One nitpick: I'm pretty sure acidity leads to a lower pH, not higher. But, your point still stands!

Good catch. The way I think about the pH scale in my head always feels like acidity should be high on the pH, but that's just wrong XD

Yeah, it would seem that the [p]ower of [H] should increase with the number of H+ ions! But, they threw in that minus sign for some reason.
