Tartar is relatively easy to spot if it forms above the gumline. The most common signs of tartar buildup are a yellow or brown discoloration on the teeth or gums. Unlike plaque, which is a colorless film of bacteria, tartar is a mineral deposit. To accurately detect and remove tartar, you should schedule an appointment with Dr. Amarjit Panesar at Hudson Dental in Edmonton.
Preventing Tartar Buildup: Proper oral hygiene practices, including regular brushing and flossing, are essential for reducing plaque and preventing tartar buildup. Using a toothpaste designed to control tartar can also be beneficial.
Once tartar has formed, the only way to remove it is through a dental procedure known as scaling. During scaling, Dr. Amarjit Panesar or a hygienist at Hudson Dental in Edmonton will use specialized instruments to eliminate tartar from both above and below the gumline.
