Brief Explanations
Plaque is a biofilm that forms on teeth. Saliva provides moisture and some components. Bacteria are a major part as they colonize. Food particles can be trapped and contribute to the matrix. Mucus is not a main component in plaque formation. Toothpaste is used to prevent plaque, not form it.
