Brilio.net - Tartar is a hard deposit that forms on the surface of the teeth due to the buildup of plaque formed from food residue, bacteria and other substances in the mouth. If plaque is not removed properly through toothbrushing and flossing, it will mineralize. Minerals from saliva, such as calcium and phosphate, can harden in plaque and form tartar. This process can occur within 24 to 72 hours after plaque forms.
Blackened tartar not only disturbs appearance, but also has a negative impact on oral health. Starting from gum disease, bad breath, and dental caries. There are various ways to remove tartar , such as scaling and whitening treatment at the dental clinic.
