Tartar Buildup

Causes of Tartar Buildup

When plaque accumulates and is not removed from teeth, it can harden and turn into tartar. Because tartar bonds strongly to enamel, it can only be removed by a dental professional.

Preventing Tartar Buildup

You can avoid tartar buildup by removing plaque. To help prevent the build up of plaque, be sure to brush your teeth at least twice daily, preferably with a plaque-fighting fluoride toothpaste such as Crest Pro-Health Toothpaste, and floss once a day with a product like Glide Deep Clean Floss. Be sure to visit your dentist regularly for dental exams and cleanings.
