Removal of tartar

A dental hygienist treats a patient in the modern Cliniq Dlouhá dental clinic.
Klára Matušková, DiS.

Tartar is a hard deposit that forms from plaque – a soft layer of bacteria on the teeth. If plaque is not removed regularly, it mineralizes and forms tartar. Not only does tartar look unsightly, but it can also cause gum inflammation, bad breath, and, over time, periodontitis. Dental calculus is removed by dental hygienists.

Why it is important to remove it

Tartar cannot be removed by regular brushing. Its presence irritates the gums and promotes the growth of bacteria that can damage tooth enamel and surrounding tissues. Regular tartar removal is therefore essential for healthy teeth and gums.

How is removal performed?

The removal is performed by a dental hygienist. An ultrasonic device is most commonly used to gently remove the tartar, and the teeth are then polished with a fine powder. The procedure is usually painless and takes a short time, depending on the amount of tartar build-up.

Advantages of removal

After tartar removal, teeth are smooth and clean, gums bleed less, and the risk of inflammation is significantly reduced. In addition, teeth look healthier and whiter, which has a positive effect on the overall appearance of your smile.

How to prevent formation

The best prevention is regular brushing twice a day, using interdental brushes and dental floss, and regular check-ups with a dental hygienist. Professional teeth cleaning at least 1-2 times a year helps keep your smile healthy and beautiful.
