Differences between Tartar and Plaque:

Plaque is a soft, sticky film that forms on the teeth and under the gums as bacteria grow throughout the day.

Tartar forms on teeth if plaque is not removed. If plaque remains on the teeth for too long, tartar will be difficult to form and much more difficult to remove with the help of a dentist.

It is dangerous mainly because it leads to the formation of caries, as well as discoloration and sensitivity of the teeth, gum caries and periodontal disease.

Why do you Need the Treatment?

The problem is not noticeable because the plaque is located on the inside of the dentition. If the disease is ignored, tartar provokes the development of gingivitis and periodontitis. These diseases tend to disrupt the tooth’s structure and lead to their loss.

It is an obstacle to filling and prosthetics of teeth. Before installing a filling or implant, you must first clean the teeth from the stone at the dentist’s appointment.

It is recommended to clean and remove tartar at least once every six months.

Treatment Options:

If tartar has already formed, you should not try to remove it yourself, and any unprofessional mechanical impact can damage the enamel and infect the gums. The following treatment options are available for removal at a dentist’s office:

Mechanical Removal:

Initially, it is only removed using a unique hook with which the tartar is separated from the tooth. It is a painful and traumatic experience, so it has been replaced with less invasive and low trauma treatments in recent years.

Ultrasound:

It removes the calculus efficiently and painlessly. It does not include apparatus contact with the tooth surface; the enamel is cleaned due to directed ultrasound waves of a specific frequency. The procedure is painless, and if there is a high sensitivity, patients can use anesthetic gel.  

Laser Removal:

It allows you to remove the calculus and return the enamel to its natural radiance. It strengthens tooth enamel and makes it more resistant to external influences. Such cleaning reduces the likelihood of developing caries or gingivitis. It has maximum efficiency and teeth whitening effect.

Prevention:

In addition to regular brushing of your teeth, follow these rules:

• Eat right and follow a good diet that contains solid foods
• Use an irrigator for cleaning
• Use floss and a special rinse after each meal

Quick Tip! Toothpaste and mouthwash slow down plaque calcification, keeping it in an amorphous unhardened state.
