Frequently Asked Tartar Removal Questions
Our clinicians have answered some common questions about professional tartar removal at Manchester Dental Clinic in Abu Dhabi.
What is tartar and why does it need to be removed?
Tartar, also called calculus, is hardened plaque that has mineralised on the tooth surface and around the gum line. Once tartar forms, it cannot be removed by normal brushing or flossing. If left in place, it can irritate the gums, contribute to gum disease, and make plaque more difficult to control. Professional tartar removal is therefore an important part of maintaining healthy teeth and gums.
How often should I have tartar removed?
The recommended frequency depends on your individual risk factors, such as your brushing habits, gum health, medical history, and how quickly you tend to accumulate deposits. Many patients benefit from tartar removal every six months as part of routine check-ups. Others with a higher risk of gum disease may require more frequent visits, for example every three to four months. Your dentist or hygienist will advise on an interval that is appropriate for you.
Is tartar removal painful?
Most patients find routine tartar removal to be comfortable, although some sensitivity or minor discomfort can occur, particularly if gums are already inflamed. We work carefully, use controlled techniques, and adjust the approach around any sensitive areas. If needed, local numbing can be used to make treatment more comfortable, especially in cases of extensive build-up or deeper cleaning. You can discuss any concerns with your clinician before the procedure starts.
What is the difference between tartar removal and teeth whitening?
Tartar removal focuses on cleaning and health, not on changing the intrinsic colour of the teeth. During scaling and polishing, surface stains and deposits are removed, which can make teeth look cleaner and sometimes slightly brighter, but it is not a whitening treatment. Teeth whitening involves specific bleaching agents applied under controlled conditions. Your clinician can explain which option is appropriate depending on your goals and oral health status.
Can I avoid tartar completely with good brushing?
Good brushing and flossing significantly reduce plaque build-up and slow the formation of tartar, but they do not always prevent it completely. Factors such as saliva composition, tooth alignment, diet, and existing restorations can influence how quickly tartar forms. Even with excellent home care, most adults will still develop some deposits over time. Professional tartar removal is therefore an important complement to home care.
What happens during a tartar removal appointment?
Your appointment usually begins with a clinical examination of your teeth and gums, including checking for inflammation, bleeding, or recession. The clinician then uses ultrasonic and fine hand instruments to gently remove tartar from above and, where indicated, slightly below the gum line. Teeth may be polished to smooth surfaces and remove superficial staining. At the end, you will receive tailored advice on home care and suggested follow-up intervals.
Is tartar removal safe for tooth enamel?
When carried out by trained professionals using appropriate instruments and technique, tartar removal is safe for tooth enamel. The aim is to remove hardened deposits and plaque without damaging the underlying tooth structure. We use controlled pressure and carefully selected tools to achieve effective cleaning while protecting the teeth and gums. Enamel is not worn away by standard professional scaling performed correctly.
I have sensitive teeth. Can I still have tartar removal?
Yes, patients with sensitive teeth can safely undergo tartar removal, although the procedure may need to be adjusted. We can use gentler settings, focus on shorter sections at a time, and avoid certain instruments in particularly sensitive areas. Topical desensitising products or local anaesthetic can also be used where appropriate. Discuss your sensitivity with your clinician so that a suitable plan can be made.
How do I know if I have tartar build-up?
Tartar often appears as hard, yellowish or brownish deposits around the gum line or between teeth that do not come off with brushing. You might also notice persistent roughness in certain areas, or your dentist may point out deposits during an examination. Sometimes tartar is not easily visible, especially below the gum line, which is why professional assessment is important. Regular check-ups help identify and manage build-up before it contributes to gum disease.
Is tartar removal different if I already have gum disease?
If you have established gum disease, tartar removal may be part of a more comprehensive periodontal treatment plan. In addition to routine scaling above the gum line, you may require deeper cleaning around the tooth roots, known as scaling and root planing. These procedures are planned carefully and sometimes carried out over several visits, with or without local anaesthetic. Your dentist or periodontist will explain the findings and recommend an appropriate sequence of care.
