Have you asked your dentist?
I've been to a few over the years. I get two types of answers: "because you don't floss" (I floss), and "this is normal, you just come for an annual cleanup".
I wonder if it's really just normal and everyone here in the comments has plaque that gets cleaned up professionally every year, or maybe there are people who have near zero plaque from whom I can learn a thing or two.
I'd trust my dentist over any rando on the interwebs. And yes, a yearly cleaning seems like a good idea.
I'm asking if people had any success with a similar problem on a personal level. It's a great way to find out what is the norm and what is achievable
The thing is, everyone is different, and what works for you might kill me.
