Do certain foods contribute more to the build-up of dental plaque?

Sticky foods stay on and between the teeth for longer and are more likely to invite dental plaque, particularly when they are rich in sugar, like biscuits, sweets, crisps, crackers. As a result, they encourage the proliferation of the bacteria in dental plaque.

Remember to brush your teeth using a suitable toothbrush and toothpaste after eating such food.
