Heavy plaque vs Tartar toddler teeth

Hello
We brush toddlers teeth morning and night but very quickly we noticed heavy plaque on bottom front teeth and we were struggling to brush/floss this away. We took to dentist and they said it did not look like calculus and should brush away at home. It’s been 10 days now and still brushing twice day and flossing too but only very slightly improved. Any ideas? Will a dentist professional scrape / clean a toddler tooth?

No I don't think a dentist will scrape/clean a toddlers tooth. It's a job for the hygienist anyway, not the dentist.

You've said it's improved a bit so just keep up the good work.

Use Xylitol crystals 2-3 times a day. You buy them in the sugar section of the supermarket. They feed good bacteria in the mouth and crowd out the plaque forming bacteria. I use them myself and my plaque has gone down to almost nothing. They're recommended for toddlers. Look up Dr Ellie on YouTube, she has resources on babies/toddlers and kids.
