Today we will explain how to remove tartar for healthier teeth and gums. Tartar forms on the teeth above and below the gum line. This is one of the annoying dental problems that can occur due to neglecting regular oral hygiene. It can lead to plaque formation on the teeth, which in turn causes an increase in plaque and bacteria that damage the enamel and lead to cavities. In this article, we will explain simple, natural methods that can help you get rid of tartar.
Why is tartar harmful to teeth?
The buildup of tartar leads to a concentration of harmful bacteria that causes gum disease, cavities, and tooth loss. If tartar is not removed, it continues to build up and harden. It also erodes tooth enamel and increases the risk of gum disease. It can also affect the bone health of the jaw and can lead to jaw bone erosion.
Why does tartar form on teeth?
Bacterial buildup causes plaque on your teeth. If plaque is not removed, it hardens and turns into tartar. Poor oral hygiene and excessive consumption of starchy and sugary foods increase the likelihood of tartar buildup in your mouth and on your teeth. It can take about 12 days for plaque to harden into tartar on your teeth.
