Tartar is a mixture of food debris, epithelial exfoliation of oral mucosa, mucus in saliva and bacteria.
Tartar is soft and easy to remove by brushing teeth.
Calculus is formed by mineralized plaque and other deposits on the tooth surface.
The calculus is relatively hard, and the teeth are very tightly attached, generally brushing is not brushed off.
The tooth can be divided into supragingival and subgingival parts bounded by the gingival margin, which attach to the tooth surface and are thus divided into supragingival and subgingival calculus.
The relationship between tartar, calculus and periodontal tissue disease is very close.
The experiment showed that the mechanical stimulation of the gum caused by the rough calculus could not cause obvious inflammation of the gum under the aseptic condition.
The harm of calculus to periodontal tissue mainly lies in that it provides a good place for plaque attachment and bacteria breeding.
The calculus itself is also easy to absorb more bacterial toxins, causing irritation to the soft tissue, so that the gum congestion, edema, but also cause bleeding when brushing teeth.
If the gum inflammation continues to develop deeper into the tissue, it can cause spontaneous bleeding and bad breath.
Along with the destruction of the alveolar bone, the teeth will become loose, displaced, and weak to chew.
Plaque and calculus are the main causes of periodontal inflammation.
Therefore, in the prevention and treatment of periodontal tissue diseases, complete removal of calculus is crucial.
However, calculus is often developed from tartar. Here are some ways to remove tartar.
(l) vinegar method take vinegar mouth containing, gargle in the mouth for 2 ~ 3 minutes spit out, brush your teeth with a toothbrush, and finally gargle with warm water.
Or when brushing your teeth, put two drops of vinegar on the toothpaste and stick to it for a period of time to remove tartar.
(2) Alum brushing method will alum 50 grams into powder, each time with a toothbrush dipped in some brushing, 2 times a day, can remove yellow tartar.
(3) Cuttlebone brushing method Take 50 grams of cuttlebone, grind it into fine powder, mix it into toothpaste and brush your teeth, twice a day, to remove black tartar.
These are easy ways to remove tartar. As long as the tooth is free of tartar, it is impossible to form calculus.
Once the calculus is formed, the effect of the above method is minimal, only to ask the dentist to scrape with instruments, or with ultrasonic cleaning machine to remove.
