What Is Dental Tartar?

Dental tartar forms from plaque that contains bacteria, food debris, and minerals in saliva. If not properly cleaned, this plaque hardens over time, forming tartar that firmly adheres to the tooth surface, causing damage to the gums and tooth enamel.

Signs That You Need Tartar Removal

1. Dull, yellow-stained teeth:
   • Heavy tartar buildup reduces the aesthetic appearance of teeth.
2. Bad breath:
   • Bacteria in tartar cause persistent halitosis.
3. Swollen, bleeding gums:
   • Red, inflamed gums that bleed easily when brushing are signs of gingivitis caused by tartar.
4. Loose teeth:
   • Excessive tartar accumulation can lead to periodontitis, affecting the bone and tissues supporting the teeth.

Benefits of Tartar Removal

• Prevention of oral diseases:
  • Eliminates the environment where bacteria causing cavities and gum disease thrive.
• Improved aesthetics:
  • Helps teeth become cleaner and brighter, with fresher breath.
• Protection of gums and jawbone:
  • Prevents periodontal disease and helps stop bone loss around the teeth.
• Quick and safe procedure:
  • Usually completed within 20–30 minutes without causing pain.

Tartar Removal Procedure

1. Examination and consultation:
   • The dentist checks the oral condition to determine the level of tartar buildup.
2. Tartar removal:
   • Ultrasonic instruments with gentle vibrations are used to remove tartar from the tooth surface and below the gum line.
3. Tooth polishing:
   • Removes remaining plaque, smooths the tooth surface, and reduces the risk of new plaque accumulation.
4. Oral care guidance:
   • The dentist provides advice on proper oral hygiene and maintenance.

Recommended Frequency for Tartar Removal

• Every 6 months:
  • This is the general recommendation to maintain good oral health.
• More frequently (every 3–4 months):
  • For smokers, people who consume a lot of tea or coffee, or those with periodontal disease.

Aftercare Tips Following Tartar Removal

1. Avoid colored foods and drinks:
   • Soft drinks, coffee, tea, red wine, etc. within the first 24 hours.
2. Brush teeth properly:
   • Use a soft-bristled toothbrush and brush gently after each meal.
3. Use dental floss and mouthwash:
   • Helps remove plaque between teeth and keeps breath fresh.
4. Regular dental check-ups:
   • Monitor oral health and receive professional cleaning at the dental clinic.
