Not only causing aesthetic loss, tartar (dental calculus) also serves as a habitat for various harmful bacteria in the oral cavity. Therefore, regular tartar removal every 3-6 months is a solution to completely eliminate deposited debris, calcified plaque on tooth surfaces, and gums.
DT Dental prides itself on being a cosmetic dentistry facility that not only enhances the perfect beauty of smiles but also provides a comfortable, relaxing experience in spacious, airy surroundings.
WHAT IS DENTAL CALCULUS? WHY SHOULD DENTAL CALCULUS BE REGULARLY REMOVED?
Dental calculus (tar tar), refers to the hardened deposits of food particles and bacteria residue that have calcified due to the presence of calcium carbonate and calcium phosphate in saliva. These deposits, often forming thick layers on tooth surfaces and gum lines, appear as opaque white or yellow-brownish stains, compromising dental aesthetics and posing various oral health risks.
The adverse effects of dental calculus on oral health:
- Malodorous breath.
- The excessive accumulation of plaque, thick and persistent over time, can erode tooth enamel. The more damaged the enamel, the higher the risk of tooth decay.
- It is a habitat for various types of bacteria that ferment carbohydrates, producing acid leading to tooth decay, such as Streptococcus mutans, Lactobacilli…
- The causative agents of oral and throat conditions such as oral mucosal inflammation, pharyngitis, tonsillitis, and mouth ulcers…
- Bleeding gums, discomfort while eating or drinking.
- Gum recession revealing tooth roots.
- The main causes of oral diseases such as gingivitis, periodontitis, and retrograde pulpitis. More severe cases can lead to tooth mobility and loss, affecting aesthetics.
Therefore, regular dental scaling every 3-6 months is necessary to protect oral health from the detrimental effects caused by dental calculus.
THE ADVANTAGES OF DENTAL SCALING AT DT DENTAL
Terminate gum inflammation.
The reason why dental scaling is beneficial is because the bacteria accumulated in dental calculus over time can cause gum disease. Therefore, regular dental scaling helps you to terminate or reduce many gum diseases.
Preservation of tooth roots.
If you have gum inflammation, you should be careful in caring for your oral health. Untreated gum inflammation can lead to gum recession, affecting the tooth roots, causing tooth instability, bone resorption, and eventually tooth loss.
Prevent certain diseases caused by calculus.
The bacteria in dental plaque cause some diseases in the oral mucosa such as mouth ulcers, and you may also suffer from additional conditions such as pharyngitis, tonsillitis, and cardiovascular diseases.
Aesthetic factor.
When calculus and plaque are removed from your mouth, your teeth will become much cleaner and brighter, helping your breath to be fresher, thus giving you more confidence.
