Plaque is a sticky coating of bacteria that forms on the surface of your teeth. If you don’t remove it properly, it can combine with the calcium salts naturally found in your saliva. This mixture of plaque and calcium salts gradually hardens and forms hard tartar.
Tartar can eventually lead to serious problems such as tooth loss and cavities. Therefore, it is of utmost importance to remove tartar in time. Otherwise, it can unfortunately result in gingivitis and ultimately tooth loss.
When tartar covers the gum line, it becomes difficult to clean the area properly with brushing.
This can lead to inflammation that weakens the gums, which in turn creates deep pockets where harmful bacteria can spread and attack the jawbone.
This process gradually destroys the attachment of your teeth and can ultimately lead to tooth loss. To avoid the situation from getting worse, it is important to act in time. By regularly brushing your teeth thoroughly, keeping the interdental spaces clean and seeking help from our experienced dental hygienists at City Dental, you can ensure that tartar is effectively removed.
