When people talk of teeth and problems that affect the teeth,
the first term that comes up is plaque. Plaque is a sticky coating that forms
on the teeth and it consists of bacteria. This coating can be removed with
regular brushing and flossing. When this is not done properly, the plaque
calcifies due to the presence of minerals and what is called tartar is formed.
This is a very hard yet porous substance that can lead to the decay of the
tooth. Tartar unlike plaque cannot be removed by brushing but has to be done
professionally through a process called scaling. Dentzz brings you some of the basic reasons of tartar accumulation.
The primary reason is improper brushing causing the plaque to calcify. This process of calcification occurs due to the high
incidence of calcium and phosphate ions present in the saliva and this
solidifies the plaque causing tartar. It usually forms on the lower part of the
teeth, that is where the teeth meet the gums and is visible as a yellow
substance. For those who have overlapped teeth, the problem of tartar may be
quite high.
