White stuff on teeth

2016-11-08 07:30:03
I am a 28 year old female who has hypothyroidism and PCOD. The conditions are well under control. However, I have been noticing plaque on my teeth in the past few weeks. I brush twice a day and I don't understand why I've got the bacterial-food film. Now, there are two questions I want to ask. 1- Is the plaque due to thyroid or the medications I am taking. 2- Is teeth cleaning/ scaling now the option for me? HELP!

Hello, plaque on tooth surface could be because of not drinking enough water or not maintaining proper brushing technique. It is not due to thyroid or the medications. Visit a dentist and get your scaling and polishing done. brush twice a day,floss regularly and rinse after every meal.

Hi. There is no relation between plaque & hypothyroidism & PCOD or the medicines. .The only solution to get rid of plaque is to get a six monthly to yearly cleaning done from the dentist for healthy gums.
