Professional teeth cleaning

Prevention is the key to healthy teeth, and cleaning your teeth of persistent tartar buildup is the simplest step you can take. It’s also one of the ways to make your smile more beautiful.


What is tartar and why should it be cleaned?


Dental tartar is often invisible on the teeth.

Teeth are constantly covered with a transparent layer made of saliva proteins and various impurities, food debris and bacteria. This transparent, easily removable layer is called tartar. plaque. Regular brushing and flossing will easily remove plaque.

If we do not brush our teeth regularly and if we do not brush all the surfaces of our teeth, even the hidden ones, plaque will mineralize, i.e. harden into a solid mass. This stubborn mass is tartar.

The health hazard of dental tartar


Due to its composition, tartar is a favorable environment for the development of bacteria. The presence of tartar is a constant irritation of the gums, which ultimately leads to its inflammation. Thus, tartar favors the development of gum diseases such as gingivitis and periodontitis. While gingivitis is a sign of mild inflammation of the gums, periodontitis is a chronic disease that leads to severe tooth loss in many people today.


Can you remove tartar yourself?


Although many people get used to tartar buildup, there is no doubt that it is a harmful phenomenon that needs to be removed. Tartar cannot be removed by brushing, flossing, or toothpicks. Once hardened, tartar can only be removed with dental equipment.
