What are the alternatives to tartar eraser?
Alternatives to the tartar eraser are available on the market in masses, but only a few of them remove tartar sensibly and gently. First of all, there is professional tooth cleaning, where a trained specialist in the dental practice gently removes tartar with ultrasonic devices and hand curettes without damaging the teeth. Some practices also use Airflow, which is similar to a sandblasting device.
A powder-water-air mixture is sprayed onto the teeth under pressure, which causes plaque to disappear and the teeth to be smoothed. Alternatives for use at home are ultrasonic toothbrushes, which can remove light plaque deposits. Dental floss and polishing strips are also ideal for cleaning and smoothing the interdental spaces. Home remedies such as baking powder or citric acid are harmful to the teeth and therefore not suitable.
