1. WHAT IS DENTAL CALCULUS?
Dental calculus is plaque formed from food debris that has not been cleaned off properly on the surface of the teeth, or between the teeth and gums. Over time, this plaque will calcify with minerals in saliva and become harder. This is called dental calculus and cannot be cleaned with a normal toothbrush because of its hardness.
On the other hand, dental plaque is also a factor that creates favorable conditions for harmful bacteria to penetrate the teeth. The result is oral diseases such as gingivitis, periodontitis, …
2. WHEN SHOULD I HAVE MY TEETH CLEANED?
The doctor shared that the ideal time to remove tartar is about 6 months/time on average, applicable to customers with good oral health. In case you have dental problems such as rough enamel surface that easily creates conditions for plaque accumulation, you should remove tartar about 3-4 months/time. Note, do not let tartar accumulate for too long, it will cause oral diseases such as gingivitis and periodontitis.
