Understanding Tartar and Calculus
Tartar and calculus refer to the same stubborn hardened deposit that forms when plaque is not removed effectively. Plaque is a soft, sticky film composed of bacteria, leftover food particles, and saliva. Over time, especially when oral hygiene is inconsistent, plaque hardens into calculus, a rough mineralized substance that binds firmly to the teeth and gumline.
Once calculus forms, brushing and flossing alone can not remove it. It requires expert cleaning from skilled dental professionals like those at Emil Spa.
A radiant smile is more than just beauty it’s a reflection of your oral health and confidence. But even with the best brushing habits, tartar and dental calculus can silently form and trap harmful bacteria around your teeth and gums. These hard, yellowish,or brown deposits don’t just ruin your smile; they set the stage for bad breath, gum disease, and tooth decay. The good news is that Emil Spa has advanced professional solutions to restore the shine and health of your teeth.
This comprehensive guide explains what tartar and calculus are, how they form, and why professional dental care is essential for maintaining a stunning, hygienic smile.
Calculus Common Causes
Even people who brush daily can develop tartar. Multiple factors influence buildup, including:
Poor oral hygiene
Inconsistent brushing and flossing allow plaque to thrive.
High-sugar or high-starch diets
These fuels bacteria growth, increasing plaque formation.
Dry mouth
Low saliva flow reduces the mouth’s natural cleansing ability.
Smoking and tobacco use
Strongly linked to heavy tartar buildup and gum damage.
Crowded or misaligned teeth
Hard-to-reach spaces make plaque removal difficult.
Poor dental routine
Skipping routine professional cleanings gives tartar time to accumulate.
While everyone develops plaque, not everyone has to live with calculus. Early prevention and professional care can stop it before it harms your dental health.
How Tartar Damages Your Smile
Calculus isn’t just a cosmetic issue it can lead to serious oral and overall health problems. The rough surface provides a perfect environment for bacteria to multiply, increasing risks such as:
Gingivitis, red, swollen, bleeding gums
Periodontal disease, severe gum infection that can destroy bone
Persistent bad breath (halitosis)
Tooth sensitivity and decay
Receding gums , exposing roots, and weakening support
Tooth mobility and eventual tooth loss
The longer tartar stays, the deeper the damage becomes. This is why early detection and treatment are vital.
Where Tartar Tend to Form
Common buildup areas include:
Behind and between the lower front teeth
Along the gumline
Back molars where brushing is often insufficient
Around dental restorations like crowns and braces
You may notice yellow or brown discolouration that doesn’t go away no matter how hard you brush a major sign that calculus has hardened.
Home Care Isn’t Enough.
One common misconception is that a harder toothbrush or stronger toothpaste can scrub tartar away unfortunately, that’s impossible. Calculus is bonded tightly to the enamel, requiring specialized ultrasonic scaling tools used only in professional settings.
Trying to remove tartar at home with sharp objects is dangerous and can cause:
Enamel scratches
Gum injuries
Higher infection risks
The safest and most effective approach is professional dental cleaning and preventive care.
