Tartar is a dental plaque deposit that can spoil the smile and harm health and social life. Indeed, tartar is a layer adhering to the teeth and gums which does not disappear with brushing and causes gum disease, cavities, loosening teeth and bad breath. Dental scaling is a medical procedure that must be carried out by a dentist, but before getting to this step here are some tips for eliminating tartar and preventing it.
WHAT IS DENTAL TARTAR?
Tartar is the result of the thickening and calcification of dental plaque. This is a film that is made up of bacteria and food residue that accumulates on the teeth. Rigorous oral hygiene is enough to eliminate the plaque that forms daily and therefore prevent the formation of tartar.
CAUSES AND AGGRAVING FACTORS
Some people will develop dental tartar more easily than others, and this is due to several factors: the composition of saliva, fragile enamel, irregular teeth, hormonal changes (pregnancy, puberty, diabetes, thyroid disease) … Certain habits such as excessive consumption of sugary foods and drinks, smoking and coloring drinks such as coffee, black tea and all foods that contain coloring, also promote the deposit of tartar on the teeth. Furthermore, impeccable food hygiene is necessary to prevent the formation of dental plaque and tartar.
THE CONSEQUENCES
Dental tartar can progress to more serious disorders such as gingivitis, periodontitis (inflammation of the tissues that support the tooth), loosening of tooth roots, persistent bad breath and sometimes even tooth loss. It is therefore essential to prevent and treat it.
ELIMINATE TARTAR NATURALLY
There is an answer in nature to this problem which allows you to remove tartar and regain white and healthy teeth. This is a treatment to be carried out once a week, without forgetting to maintain impeccable daily oral hygiene.
