No, not the math subject. Its other name is “TARTAR”.
  • Tartar is matured, hardened plaque.

  • Tartar gives plaque a place to harbor. Plaque causes gum
    disease.

  • Plaque can mineralizes into tartar as quickly as 4 to 8
    hours!

  • And can mature around 12 days, if not removed.

  • To PREVENT tartar, brush and floss daily.

  • Tartar control toothpaste may help.

  • Once it forms and you can see it, you cannot remove it anymore by brushing
    hard (common misconception!) or flossing.

  • So it's best to visit us your dentist or dental hygienist as
    recommended, so that we can remove your plaque and tartar build-up and maintain your gums and oral health.
