Do I have to go to the dentist for tartar removal?
In any case, tartar removal by trained professionals in the dental office is the only way to reduce tartar completely. Furthermore, the methods at the dentist by ultrasound or scaling with hand instruments offer procedures to gently remove the mineralized plaque from the teeth and not to attack the healthy tooth substance. Through the trained removal and subsequent polishing, a smooth surface is created that hardly allows bacteria to adhere.There is a greater risk of tartar formation in nested teeth, as the patient is less able to clean them.
Regular professional dental cleaning can also help to reduce the risk of tartar formation. With good oral hygiene, one or two visits to the dentist a year are sufficient to maintain a sustainably healthy oral flora. Furthermore, the dental check-up should be carried out twice a year to detect tartar at an early stage and remove it quickly.
Important to the trained tartar removal in the practice is the thorough oral hygiene at home in the morning and evening, so that tartar can not form in the first place. Early removal of all soft plaque prevents it from mineralizing and forming tartar. Therefore, good oral hygiene and the trained cleaning methods at the dentist’s are the key to a lasting healthy oral cavity.
