Tartar is an unavoidable presence for us, and it is widely present in everyone’s mouth. Known as the number one killer of oral health, calculus tends to attract bacteria or toxins and is an irritant in itself, causing red, swollen and inflamed gums. This shows that calculus is harmful to our health. If calculus is left untreated for a long time, it may also aggravate periodontal disease and form periodontal pockets, making it easier for food debris, plaque and calculus to accumulate, and such a vicious cycle will eventually lead to the destruction of all periodontal tissues, causing teeth to ulcerate, loosen or even fall out. If calculus is so bad, how can it be removed? Some people wonder if it is possible to remove the calculus by hand or with the help of a sharp tool in our lives, can these methods be taken? The answer is no. This is because our fingers are very thick and the size of the calculus is so small that it is impossible for our fingers to pick it off. Even if a sharp tool is used, it is easy to hurt the gums with force and cause unbearable pain. Also, if the tools used are not sterilized and carry numerous bacteria, it is easy to cause oral infection. Not only does it not solve the problem of calculus, but it may also expose your teeth to more damage. Don’t neglect your health because of frugality. If you have a problem with calculus, it is better to find a professional dentist who is more professional and experienced than us, and the instruments are sterilized, which is more reassuring. To remove calculus, it is best to go to a hospital for scaling, which is a more scientific way to remove calculus, using special scaling instruments to remove the calculus from the teeth. The most common method is ultrasonic scaling, which uses high-frequency vibration to shatter and remove the tartar attached to the teeth, combined with polishing technology to make the surface of the teeth smooth and reduce the sensitivity of the teeth, while making it less likely that calculus will be deposited on the teeth. It is also important to note that we brush our teeth once a day in the morning and once in the evening to reduce the chance of calculus formation. Clean your teeth 1-2 times a year to reduce the burden on your gums. This will prevent the appearance of calculus.
