You can’t fully remove dental plaque in 5 minutes at home. Plaque is a sticky biofilm that needs brushing + flossing + time or professional cleaning to remove properly. If it hardens into tartar, only a dentist can remove it safely.
However, I can give you a fast 5–10 minute routine that helps loosen plaque, reduce bacteria, and make teeth feel cleaner immediately.
