Tartar Removal
Tartar forms when dental plaque gradually hardens and accumulates on the surface of teeth, between teeth, and around dental restorations.
Plaque contains a large amount of bacteria and cannot be removed by rinsing or water alone.
If not regularly removed through proper cleaning, it hardens into tartar.
