Common conclusions

Feeling your teeth unsmooth may be caused by plaque that covers the back surface of your teeth. This condition may occur in individuals who drink a lot of black tea or black coffee on a daily basis. Eating more of a bakery or other sticky foods raises the risks of having calculus or decay due to the complexity of brushing off the residues. Try changing your regular toothbrush to a hard one or use electric with a medium-hard head. You should thoroughly brush your teeth twice every day and gently floss afterwards in order to remove food residues in your interdental spaces. If the condition persists, seek professional dental help.
