Plaque refers to a sticky, colorless film of germs or bacteria that live on your teeth. It is formed when bacteria in the mouth interact with the sugars and starches from the food we consume. If not removed through regular brushing and flossing, plaque can harden into tartar, leading to tooth decay and gum disease. Regular dental hygiene practices such as brushing twice a day and visiting the dentist for professional cleanings can help prevent the buildup of plaque.

Additionally, walking outdoors exposes individuals to fresh air and sunlight, both of which can improve mood and increase vitamin D levels. Regular exercise also reduces stress and anxiety, promotes better sleep, and enhances overall well-being. Therefore, incorporating a short walk into daily routine can have a positive impact on mood and mental health.

Regular checkups can help detect any potential health issues early on, allowing for timely intervention and treatment. Therefore, feeling healthy should not be a reason to neglect regular checkups with a doctor.
