Tooth Cleaning
Tartar, also known as calculus, forms when plaque hardens on the teeth over time. Many people wonder, ‘What happens if tartar is not removed'? If left untreated, tartar continues to accumulate, creating a rough surface where more plaque can build up. This bacteria-laden environment irritates the gums, which can lead to inflammation, gum disease and other oral health issues.
The effects of tartar on teeth and gums can be significant. Tartar can cause gums to recede and create pockets that trap bacteria. Over time, this can progress to periodontitis, a serious form of gum disease that weakens the supporting structures of the teeth. In severe cases, untreated tartar and gum disease can ultimately lead to tooth loss.
Regular oral hygiene helps keep the teeth and gums clean, but brushing and flossing alone cannot remove tartar once it forms. That’s why professional teeth cleaning in Newport, VIC, is important. A dentist or hygienist performs plaque and tartar removal, cleaning both above and below the gumline to prevent gum disease and maintain healthy teeth.
