Thanks to our extended dental hygiene treatment, which goes beyond the norm, you can maintain the health of your teeth and gums in the long term. Thorough oral and dental care is essential for keeping your teeth healthy. However, even this cannot prevent continuous plaque and tartar formation. Therefore, dental hygiene treatment and tartar removal are necessary every six months.
When plaque builds up on teeth, it mixes with saliva and eventually hardens to form tartar. It often first adheres to hard-to-clean areas, such as along the back teeth or on the tongue side of the incisors.
What Are the Negative Consequences of Tartar Buildup?
- tooth decay
- halitosis
- Bleeding, inflamed gums
- gum disease
- in the worst-case scenario, tooth loss

However, if you feel fine or more pronounced ridges or rough patches, you have tartar, so to protect your teeth and gums, it is recommended that you tartar removal.
- Examine your lifestyle! If you regularly smoke, drink tea or coffee, or perhaps only brush your teeth once a day, you may need dental hygiene treatment more often than the average of 6 months.
- Think about the last time you had an oral hygiene treatment! If it's been more than 6 months, you're probably due for another scaling treatment, so it's worth a visit to our dental hygienist.
