Frequently Asked Tartar Teeth Questions
Tartar is a common concern that can significantly affect gum health if left untreated. These answers address typical questions about tartar build-up and its management at Manchester Dental Clinic in Abu Dhabi.
What is tartar on teeth and how is it different from plaque?
Tartar is hardened plaque that has calcified on the tooth surface and can no longer be removed by normal brushing or flossing. Plaque is a soft, sticky film of bacteria that forms continuously on teeth. When plaque is not adequately removed, minerals in saliva cause it to harden into tartar. Tartar tends to accumulate around the gum line and can contribute to gum inflammation and periodontal disease.
Can I remove tartar from my teeth at home?
Once plaque has hardened into tartar, it cannot be safely removed with home brushing or over the counter products. Attempting to scrape tartar yourself can damage tooth enamel and irritate the gums. Professional cleaning with appropriate instruments is required to remove tartar effectively and safely. Good daily oral hygiene helps reduce new tartar formation between dental visits.
How is tartar removed during a professional cleaning?
Tartar is removed using specialised instruments that gently detach deposits from the tooth surface. Your dentist or hygienist may use ultrasonic scalers that vibrate and flush the area with water, along with fine hand instruments for detailed cleaning. The procedure is methodical and tailored to the amount and location of tartar. After scaling, teeth are often polished to smooth the surfaces and help reduce plaque accumulation.
Is tartar removal painful?
Most patients experience only mild discomfort, if any, during routine tartar removal. Sensitivity may be slightly higher if there is existing gum inflammation or exposed root surfaces. If you are concerned about discomfort, your clinician can adapt the technique or use local anaesthesia for more sensitive areas. Our team works carefully and communicates throughout the procedure to help you remain comfortable.
How often should I have tartar removed?
The frequency of professional cleaning depends on your individual risk for plaque and tartar build-up, as well as your gum health. Many patients benefit from tartar removal every six months as part of routine check-ups. Those with a history of gum disease, crowded teeth, or higher tartar formation may be advised to attend more frequently. Your dentist will recommend an interval that suits your specific needs.
What problems can tartar cause if it is not treated?
Untreated tartar provides a rough surface where bacteria can thrive and is a significant factor in gum inflammation. Over time, this can progress from gingivitis to more advanced periodontal disease, which may affect the supporting bone and ligaments around the teeth. Tartar can also contribute to persistent bad breath and make teeth harder to clean. Early removal and consistent maintenance reduce these risks.
Why do I develop tartar even though I brush regularly?
Tartar build-up is influenced by several factors including brushing technique, areas that are difficult to reach, saliva composition, diet, and spacing of teeth. Even with regular brushing, plaque can remain in tight spaces, along the gum line, or between teeth if interdental cleaning is limited. Once plaque hardens, brushing alone will not remove it. Professional guidance can help refine your technique and product choice to better control build-up.
Is tartar removal safe for my enamel and gums?
When performed by trained dental professionals, tartar removal is a safe and routine procedure. Instruments are designed to target deposits on the tooth surface while preserving enamel and respecting soft tissues. Any minor tenderness usually settles quickly after treatment. Regular, properly performed scaling is an important part of maintaining stable gum health.
Does tartar only form on adults’ teeth, or can children get it too?
Tartar can form on both adults’ and children’s teeth, although the amount and pattern may differ. In children and teenagers, early tartar build-up is often linked to inconsistent brushing and limited interdental cleaning. Regular paediatric check-ups allow early detection and gentle removal where needed. Encouraging good habits from a young age helps reduce tartar formation later in life.
What can I do to reduce tartar build-up between dental visits?
Effective plaque control is the most important way to limit tartar formation. This includes thorough twice daily brushing with a fluoride toothpaste, daily interdental cleaning using floss or interdental brushes, and, where appropriate, using adjunctive mouthrinses. Your dentist may recommend specific tools or techniques suited to your teeth and gums. Attending regular check-ups allows your routine to be reviewed and adjusted as needed.
