Accepted Answer

Dental plaque is a sticky film of bacteria that forms on teeth and other surfaces in the mouth. It is technically a biofilm, which is a complex community of microorganisms living together on a surface.

Dentin and tooth enamel refer to the hard tissues that make up the tooth structure.
