Medical treatments for tartar (Scaling and dental plaque)

Unlike plaque, which can be removed with good oral hygiene, tartar can only be removed by specialized instruments from a dentist. It is recommended that you see a dental professional regularly who will check your teeth and gums and clean them to dislodge tartar deposits.

Anti-tartar toothpastes can be helpful for people in whom tartar tends to form quickly.

Some people may be advised to use an antimicrobial mouthwash daily to more effectively kill bacteria in the mouth.
