Tips to Help Control Tartar


Brush regularly, twice a day for 2 minutes a time.
Choose tartar-control toothpaste with fluoride.

Floss, floss, floss. No matter how good you are with a toothbrush.
Rinse daily. Use an antiseptic mouthwash daily to help kill bacteria that cause plaque.
Watch your diet. The bacteria in your mouth thrive on sugary and starchy foods.Brush and drink plenty of water during and after meals.

Don't smoke. Studies show that people who smoke cigarettes or use other tobacco products are more likely to have tartar.

The Hard Truth Tartar is tough—it’s a hard, crusty deposit that can trap stains and leads to tooth discoloration. Tartar is formed when residual plaque on the surface of the tooth reacts with minerals in your saliva. Only a dentist can remove tartar, but you can proactively prevent it with a good brushing regimen.
