Tartar is a deposit formed by bacterial biofilm and food debris on the surface of the teeth, and calculus is formed by calcification of bacterial biofilm and food debris. Patients who want to remove tartar can do so by using dental floss, brushing, etc. However, calculus cannot be removed by itself and should be eliminated by ultrasonic scaling in the hospital.
1. Tartar: patients should brush their teeth diligently, clean their oral hygiene in time after three meals a day, and use dental floss to keep their mouths clean. If not removed in time, it may lead to dental caries, periodontitis and other diseases.
2. Dental calculus: Because dental calculus is formed by calcification, patients can not be cleaned by daily care, dental calculus patients should regularly go to the hospital for scaling, through the high-frequency vibration of ultrasonic waves to remove dental calculus.
Patients need to go to regular hospitals for dental scaling and are advised to have regular follow-ups to maintain their dental health.
