Why is Tartar Removal Important?
Tartar removal has become an important dental treatment due to dietary habits that have changed over the decades. More and more emphasis must be placed on oral care, which not only helps maintain one's own teeth but also extends the life of completed dental restorations and implants.
Even the slightest gingivitis endangers and can doom precise interventions to failure. Tartar formation can be a common cause of gingivitis.
What is Tartar and How Does it Form?
Most of the plaque can be removed from the teeth with the help of regular brushing and flossing but it cannot be 100% removed at home, even with very conscientious teeth cleaning. Over time, small pieces of calcium crystals from saliva are deposited in the plaque, which can lead to tartar formation.
In order to prevent the formation of tartar, it is therefore recommended to have dental hygiene treatments done, during which the plaque can be completely removed. The rate and extent of tartar formation differs from person to person, depending on lifestyle and individual characteristics.
Common Locations
- Upper molars
Buccal (cheek) surface most affected
- Lower incisors
Lingual (tongue) surface commonly affected
- Gum line
Where tooth meets gum tissue
Consequences of Untreated Tartar
Aesthetic Problems
- Visible deposits at gum line
- Tooth discoloration from staining
- Unpleasant appearance
Health Problems
- Bad breath (halitosis)
- Gum inflammation and irritation
- Periodontal disease and bone loss
- Tooth loosening and loss
Important: Experience shows that the main cause of bad breath is usually not tooth decay, but tartar. By irritating the gums, tartar can cause inflammation, and further periodontal disease, bone destruction, loosening and subsequent loss of teeth.
