How to Remove Tartar Besides Scaling, Here Are 5 Tips!

JAKARTA – How to remove tartar can be done in various ways. Corals themselves are one of the things that affect dental health and mouth as a whole. Indeed, one of the most effective ways is by scaling. This tool called an ultrasonic scaler works to break down the tartar that is in between the teeth and at the gum line. These two parts are usually difficult to reach with a toothbrush.

With this scaling, even very hard tartar can be removed. Dental scaling should ideally be done every six months. Quoted from the American Academy of Periodontology, thick hardened plaque needs to be removed with special treatments that only dentists can do.

1. Brushing teeth twice a day

The easiest way that can be done is to brush your teeth regularly. Brushing your teeth is one of the easiest ways to remove and clean tartar. Especially for tartar that is still white.

Experts recommend brushing teeth should be done twice a day, in the morning after breakfast and at night before bed. To get really clean, brush your teeth for two minutes. It is recommended to brush for 30 seconds for each of the four parts of the teeth (right side, left side, front, inside).

In addition, the selection of the correct toothbrush must also be considered. Choose a toothbrush that has fine and soft bristles. Adjust the toothbrush head to the width of your mouth, making sure the brush head is not too big or too small.

3. Clean teeth with floss

Basically brushing your teeth will only clean the surface of the teeth and not reach the deepest part between the teeth. Now to reach difficult places, cleaning teeth with dental floss is highly recommended.

In addition to cleaning tartar, regularly flossing your teeth can also reduce the risk of gum disease and bad breath. Flossing should ideally be done after brushing your teeth.
