Dental calculus or tartar is a manifestation of the accumulation of bacterial plaque on the teeth. Bacterial plaque is a film that adheres to the teeth and gums, composed of bacteria, sugars, and acids that are constantly formed. If bacterial plaque is not adequately removed by brushing and flossing, it hardens and accumulates to form dental tartar.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dental tartar is a hard, porous substance that adheres strongly to the surface of the teeth and is difficult to remove by regular cleaning at home. The accumulation of tartar can irritate the gums, cause inflammation and bleeding, and in more severe cases, lead to periodontal diseases and tooth loss. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are two types of tartar: <\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Supragingival tartar, which accumulates on the visible surface of the teeth and gums. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">Subgingival tartar, which accumulates under the gums and is not as easy to see because it is not visible to the naked eye.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_causes_the_production_of_tartar_on_teeth\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> What causes the production of tartar on teeth?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><strong>Why does tartar form on teeth?<\/strong> As already mentioned, accumulated dental plaque can turn into tartar or dental calculus if it is not removed correctly and remains in the mouth for a prolonged period of time.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dental tartar is difficult to remove with brushing at home and can change the appearance of the teeth, making them yellowish or brown and with a rough surface. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The formation of tartar can also be due to areas of difficult access in the mouth, such as the spaces between the teeth, the gum and the back of the lower and front teeth, which require professional cleaning to prevent the accumulation of bacteria.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition, the pH of saliva can also affect the formation of dental tartar. An inadequate pH due to inadequate eating habits and lack of oral hygiene can increase the propensity to form tartar. Therefore, maintaining good oral hygiene and visiting the dentist regularly are essential to prevent the formation of tartar and maintain healthy teeth. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_it_dangerous_to_have_dental_tartar\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Is it dangerous to have dental tartar?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dental tartar can be responsible for several oral conditions that can be serious, after <\/span><b>why tartar occurs on teeth, <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">we will see some of the conditions it can cause: <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Gingivitis\"><\/span>Gingivitis<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Tartar on the teeth can cause inflammation, irritation, and bleeding of the gums.
