Others may need extra care and diligence due to certain medical conditions such as diabetes or kidney problems which can cause tooth decay due to anemia due to too many blood transfusions during surgery preparation careers where patients used to come made adrenaline injections against their will after being held captive by criminals until police arrive at the scene (not cool).

Tartar is one of the most common annoyances in a dental office. Letting tartar settle on your teeth can be harmful.
Tartar is a calcified deposit made up of saliva, mineral salts, dental plaque, food fragments.
Causes
Tartar forms due to poor oral hygiene. Food residues settle and are immediately attacked by bacteria and this generates the formation of plaque. In less than 24 hours, the plaque calcifies, giving rise to tartar.
Tartar deposits can be: subgingival and supragingival.
– Subgingival tartar is located below the gum. It is not visible to the naked eye and is among the causes of periodontitis.
– Supragingival tartar surrounds the gumline.

Tartar, having a not indifferent adhesive power, can only be removed with the help of the dentist by ablation of tartar, or scaling (dental cleaning). Cleaning sessions should be carried out every 6/9 months maximum.

Scaling performed with mechanical instruments is the most common procedure for cleaning teeth. Although lately we resort to ultrasound, given their effectiveness and absence of pain.

The ultrasound method can remove all the tartar in one or two sessions at the most.
But what are the main pathologies caused by tartar?
- Inflammation of the gums
The gums bleed and gingivitis can occur.
- Caries
This pathology begins below the plaque until it perforates the enamel and reaches the dentin and pulp of the tooth. It can lead to the formation of apical periodontitis, abscesses, cysts and granulomas.
- Halitosis
- Periodontitis
Periodontitis is a disease that causes the destruction of the tissues that support the tooth and can therefore cause the teeth to fall out.
Prevention
To prevent the formation of tartar, it is necessary to engage in correct and constant oral hygiene sessions. Brush your teeth after meals and floss.
