Tartar forms where dental plaque has built up because of insufficient cleaning. Within a few days plaque turns into tartar, which not only looks unpleasant but also irritates the gums and makes them recede.
We cannot remove tartar ourselves. It has to be done by a dentist or a dental hygienist.
Tartar first forms above the gum line, but gradually also below it. Tartar below the gum leads to periodontal pockets and periodontitis, so do not underestimate its removal.
The dental hygienist removes tartar mainly with special hand instruments (curettes) or ultrasound. Come for a dental hygiene appointment, have the tartar removed and learn how to prevent it from forming again.
