The main treatments for tartar include scaling, scraping, and practicing good oral cleaning habits.
Tartar is calcified plaque that, once formed, is generally impossible to remove on its own and needs to be removed by a doctor using manual or ultrasonic instruments.
Tartar is categorized into supragingival tartar and subgingival tartar depending on where it is attached. Scaling is a treatment in which the doctor removes supragingival tartar, and scraping is a treatment in which the doctor removes subgingival tartar.
After the removal of tartar, it is also necessary to develop good oral cleaning habits, brushing at least twice a day, flossing or interdental brushes, and timely cleaning of plaque on the surface of the teeth.
Teeth tartar is recommended to visit the hospital in time, under the guidance of the doctor to give targeted treatment or treatment.
