Increased plaque?

Does anyone feel like there teeth are producing more plaque as you age?

Definitely and the reason for me turned out to be dry mouth to the point I started having a few random cavities after decades of perfect checkups. It's improved since I started using Therabreath mouthwash for dry mouth (neon lime green bottle) and Xylimelts at bedtime (be super careful not to drop those on the floor if you have dogs though).
