This makes teeth play a very important role in everyday life. The reason is, if the teeth are not in good condition, this will actually disrupt the efficient digestive process.
However, for some people, achieving healthy teeth is not an easy thing. This is because the teeth are basically constantly exposed to the food and drinks consumed every day. This process then has the potential to form a problem called tartar.
In general, the formation of tartar is caused by the buildup of plaque - a sticky layer consisting of bacteria, food debris and saliva - which sticks to the surface of the teeth. This means that the main factors underlying the formation of tartar are the consumption of unhealthy food and drink and a way of brushing your teeth that is not optimally clean. If left unchecked, tartar can gradually cause various other worrying problems such as holes and inflammation of the teeth.
