What is the best way to remove dental plaque?

Many friends will find a lot of black stuff growing on their teeth when brushing their teeth, especially the root part is very obvious. This black stuff is what we often call tartar. If there is tartar on your teeth and it is not removed as soon as possible, it will not only affect the appearance of your teeth but also cause great harm to your dental health. So what is the best way to remove tartar? Let me give you a brief introduction below.

Dental tartar is composed of inorganic and organic matter such as food residues. Generally speaking, tartar is located on the surface of the tooth neck. The tartar above the gum margin is supragingival tartar, and the tartar below the gum margin is subgingival tartar. Tartar tends to accumulate on the tooth surfaces opposite the openings of the salivary ducts, such as the lingual surfaces of the lower front teeth and the buccal surfaces of the upper back teeth. In addition, tartar is also deposited on the tooth surfaces that have lost their chewing function, such as misaligned teeth and the jaw surfaces of non-functional teeth in people with unilateral chewing habits.

Generally, the most effective way to remove dental tartar is through teeth cleaning, which can remove surface pigments and ensure oral health. In fact, what is more important is the maintenance and care in daily life.

1The easiest and most effective way to get rid of dental tartar is to brush your teeth carefully every day. Data shows that high-quality brushing can remove more than 90% of dental plaque and soft deposits on the tooth surface.

2. Correct the crowded and misaligned teeth, eliminate the bad habit of unilateral chewing, and make all teeth play their chewing function.

3 In terms of diet, we should eat less soft and sticky food, less high-sugar food, and eat more fibrous food to increase the self-cleaning function of teeth and reduce the formation of dental plaque.

4 You should go to the hospital's dental department for a check-up every six months to a year. If tartar is found, have your teeth cleaned in time to ensure oral health.

The above are the more common methods of removing tartar. Teeth are a very important organ for people. If there is a problem with the teeth, many delicious foods will not be available to everyone. Therefore, it is recommended that everyone pay more attention to their dental problems in normal times. It is best to have your teeth cleaned once a year to better protect your teeth.
