You’ve probably heard of kidney stones and gallstones, but you may not have heard of “dental calculus.” If you notice a yellow, brown, or black coating on your tooth roots, between your teeth, or on the backs of your teeth, that’s usually dental calculus. Smokers and people who frequently go to bed without brushing their teeth at night are particularly prone to developing dental calculus.
Dental calculus has a significant impact on our oral health and is the leading cause of oral diseases. Common symptoms include gum recession, bleeding gums, bad breath, and loose teeth; it also affects our appearance and social image.
Dental calculus is a major contributing factor to the development of periodontal disease. If you do not maintain good oral hygiene habits, dental calculus can easily and quickly redeposit on the surface of your teeth, even after a thorough professional dental cleaning. Generally, it takes only 12 to 15 hours for new dental calculus to form. Initially, it is soft, but it gradually hardens as it calcifies over time.
Under what circumstances are teeth prone to developing tartar?
1. Poor oral hygiene, such as not brushing your teeth or not brushing them properly. Pay attention to your brushing technique; the correct method is to brush “vertically,” not “horizontally.”
2. Poor development of the tooth surface, such as in cases of enamel hypoplasia.
3. Crooked teeth.
4. A long-term diet consisting of soft or very sticky foods.
5. Likes to eat sweets; frequently eats foods high in calcium and phosphorus.
How can you effectively prevent tartar buildup?
1. Brushing and Rinsing: Brushing your teeth in the morning and at night and rinsing your mouth after meals are the most important steps in preventing and treating tartar buildup. Be sure to rinse your mouth after drinking tea, coffee, or red wine as well.
2. Diet: Maintain a balanced diet that combines refined and whole grains. Eat plenty of vitamin-rich, high-fiber foods, such as meat, eggs, and a variety of vegetables and fruits, and chew thoroughly to help clean your teeth. Limit your intake of sweets, very sticky foods, and snacks.
3. Oral Health Checkups: Get regular oral health checkups and professional teeth cleanings.
Brushing your teeth is a simple yet effective way to prevent tartar buildup. Tartar deposits form gradually, starting from a small amount and increasing over time; even the fastest tartar formation takes 12–15 hours, so you should brush your teeth at least 2–3 times a day. Regular brushing can promptly remove plaque and tartar that have just begun to accumulate on the tooth surface. Therefore, you should make brushing a consistent habit. If you wait until tartar has built up thickly and become firmly attached, it will require the assistance of a dentist to remove it. Thus, it is essential to develop good habits of proper brushing in your daily routine.
So how can plaque and tartar be effectively removed? Ordinary toothbrushes struggle to reach hard-to-reach areas like the spaces between teeth, making it difficult to remove plaque and tartar—which can easily lead to various oral diseases.
