What is tartar removal?
Tartar removal is also known as scaling. Tartar is the primary cause of gum disease, bleeding gums, and bad breath. During a standard tartar cleaning, the dentist removes the tartar and plaque that have accumulated on the tooth surface. Afterward, the teeth are polished with a special paste to remove any stains. The dentist also advises you on how to brush your teeth and use dental floss, providing essential oral hygiene education.
