Tartar removal, descaling<\/h2>\n

Tartar is a substance similar to limescale that adheres to the surface of the teeth, in the spaces between the teeth, and even below the gum line.\u00a0The formation of tartar is a natural process resulting from our modern way of life.<\/strong>, however, if we don't take care to have it removed at least twice a year, it can cause gingivitis, periodontal disease, bad breath, tooth decay, and even tooth loss.<\/p>\n

Proper oral hygiene, including brushing twice a day, flossing, and regular dental check-ups, plays a crucial role in prevention.\u00a0tartar removal<\/a>Nak.\u00a0<\/strong>By establishing a precise dental care routine, tartar formation can be minimised, and thanks to regular tartar removal, the chances of developing diseases caused by tartar can be reduced.<\/p>\n

In our article, we have summarised the most important information worth knowing about the formation, prevention, removal, and dangers of tartar.<\/p>\n

This is how tartar forms<\/h2>\n

The formation of tartar is a completely natural process; its deposition on teeth is unavoidable even with proper oral hygiene. Through regular brushing, mouthwash, and flossing, most food debris and plaque on the teeth can be removed, though not entirely.<\/p>\n

The plaque left on teeth accumulates over time and a layer of plaque full of bacteria, also known as\u00a0Plaque forms<\/strong>. This forms tartar through a chemical process called mineralisation, which takes place in saliva.<\/p>\n

In more severe cases, tartar is clearly visible to the naked eye, can be yellowish, greyish or brownish in colour, and can lead to a serious aesthetic problem.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It's worth keeping in mind that tartar can form not only on the visible parts of the teeth but also in the gaps between teeth and under the gums. Tartar found under the gums is difficult to see with the naked eye, but its removal is particularly important to prevent gingivitis, gum recession, and periodontal disease.<\/p>\n

The rate of tartar formation, as well as its quantity, is entirely individual.<\/strong>, primarily influenced by eating and oral hygiene habits, lifestyle, and genetic predisposition.<\/p>\n

As the name suggests, tartar is in a completely solid state and adheres strongly to the surface of the teeth. Unlike plaque, it can no longer be removed at home by brushing or flossing, and definitely requires professional dental hygiene treatment in the surgery.<\/p>\n

Regular tartar removal is an essential part of healthy oral hygiene, as the formation of tartar not only causes aesthetic problems but can also lead to numerous more serious issues.\u00a0The professional removal of tartar is at least as important an element of oral hygiene as brushing your teeth twice a day or regular flossing.\u00a0<\/strong>The hardened plaque, you see, provides an excellent breeding ground for various bacteria, which can cause numerous dental diseases.<\/p>\n

The most common disease caused by tartar is gingivitis, the symptoms of which can initially appear harmless. First, minor gum swelling, redness, and gum bleeding may occur, but if left untreated, the inflammation can even reach the periodontium, which in the long term leads to tooth loosening and can also cause tooth loss.<\/p>\n

The settling of cavity-causing bacteria in tartar can also cause problems. These pathogens severely threaten the health of our teeth, as they damage tooth enamel and accelerate the process of tooth decay.<\/p>\n

Previously, dark, brownish spots can quickly appear on the surface of our healthy teeth, and after this, not only tartar removal but also decay treatment will need to be considered.<\/p>\n

In the advanced stage of tooth decay, when the damage has already affected the inner layer of the tooth, the pulp, not only a filling but root canal treatment may also be necessary.<\/p>\n

Regular dental hygiene treatments and tartar removal can prevent or eliminate the following dental diseases:<\/p>\n
