What is tartar cleaning?

The brown or yellow plaques that form on the teeth are called dental calculus or tartar. The procedure of cleaning the tartar formed on the tooth surface is called tartar cleaning, or in dental terminology, scaling (detartrage). To prevent the formation of cavities in the teeth and to prevent gum recession, tartar cleaning should be done at certain intervals. Tartar cleaning should be done once a year, every year, by a dentist.

How is tartar cleaning performed?

If regular tartar cleaning is not done, it can cause loosening of the teeth, gum problems, bad breath and tooth decay. In tartar cleaning, dentists may use ultrasonic dental devices, medical toothpastes and a set of dental instruments. Tartar cleaning takes about 30 minutes. The tartar cleaning procedure, which starts with vibrating ultrasonic devices, continues until the tartar is broken into pieces, while water is sprayed into the mouth. After the large pieces of tartar are removed, the remaining tartar is cleaned with dental instruments, and the tartar cleaning procedure is completed after polishing is applied.
