# Tips For How To Remove Tartar from Teeth at home
At home, even if you take good care of your teeth, you still have bacteria in your mouth. It mixes with proteins and food products and forms a sticky layer called dental plaque. This sticky substance coats your teeth and below the gum line and sticks to fillings or other dental work. Plaque carries bacteria that can damage tooth enamel and cause tooth decay. But by regularly removing plaque, you can prevent permanent tooth decay and gum disease.

However, bigger problems arise if the plaque remains on the teeth and hardens into tartar.

Tartar, also known as calculus, forms below and above the gum line. It is hard and porous and can lead to receding gums and gum disease.

<h2>How does tartar affect teeth and gums?</h2>
Tartar can make it difficult to brush and floss properly. This can lead to tooth decay and cavities.

Any plaque that forms above the gum line can be harmful to you. This is because the bacteria in it can irritate and damage the gums. Over time, this can worsen gum disease.

The rarest form of gum disease is called periodontitis. You can usually stop and go back if you brush and floss, use oral antibiotics, and get regular cleanings from your dentist.

The best thing to do is to prevent tartar from affecting your teeth. Here's how we see it:
<ul>
 	<li>Brush your teeth regularly twice a day for two minutes each time. Brushing for 30 seconds twice a day will not remove bacteria or prevent plaque. Use a soft-bristled brush small enough to fit in your mouth. Be sure to include hard-to-reach areas behind the teeth and back teeth.</li>
 	<li>Studies have shown that mechanical or powered toothbrushes can remove plaque better than manual toothbrushes. Whichever brand you use, make sure it has the American Dental Association (ADA) seal of approval. Extensively tested for quality and safety.</li>
 	<li>Choose an anti-calcium toothpaste that contains fluoride. Fluoride will help repair damaged enamel. Some products contain an ingredient called triclosan, which fights plaque.</li>
</ul>
<h2>Final Words:</h2>
Thread, thread, mill. No matter how good you are at brushing your teeth, dental tools are the only way to remove plaque between the teeth and keep tartar away from these hard-to-reach places.

Once tartar has formed, only a dentist will be able to remove it from your teeth. Therefore, visit your dentist every 6 months to remove any plaque and tartar that may have formed and prevent further problems.
