The soft sticky film is called plaque. When plaque is not brushed away, it hardens and forms tartar on the teeth. Tartar must be scraped away with a metal dental instrument & cannot be removed by simple brushing. Brush away plaque so it does not have time to harden into tartar.

Does dry mouth kill the most bacteria?

I think dry mouth does kill bacteria. Whenever I had swollen gums or it felt like skin was scraping off of the roof of my mouth and the side effect was dry mouth, I thought it was like this for a reason, so I didn't drink water until the dryness disappeared and the next day, the swelling and scraped gums disappeared. I think it's because the mouth has mucous membranes and they have to dry out in order for bacteria to be killed. Maybe dry mouth can stop herpes from settling on the mucous membranes.
