The presence of these deposits in humans can lead to the development of many diseases such as periodontitis and gingivitis. Not only that tartar spoils the impression of a smile, as the teeth have a yellowish tint, so it is also very harmful. Also formed caries, which can lead to complete destruction of the tooth.
Types of tartar and its causes
Appearance tartar It may be caused by improper oral hygiene or gum disease. At home, and especially on their own, remove the stone is impossible. For removing special tools and pastes are neededwhich cover teeth for their improvement.
There are such types of stone as:
- poddesny;
- naddesny

Methods for removing plaque
There are several ways to remove plaque from the teeth, such as:
- manual removal with special tools;
- sandblasting;
- removal with ultrasound.
Manual removal using such tools was often used in the USSR. In the modern world completely abandoned, because this method has many disadvantages. The most important thing is that the gums are badly injured and the tartar is poorly removed.
The sandblasting method or air flow is that water particles are sprayed from a special device with great speed and knock down the raid. Soda is added to the water. The method is only suitable for people who have very small tartar. In advanced cases, such removal is ineffective.
Ultrasound removal is a big leap in progress. Even the oldest tartar easily removed, gums are not injured. Ultrasonic scaling devices are called Scalers. Such devices consist of a motor-generator and a tip, which makes 100 million movements per minute. This is an ultrasonic frequency, therefore, it is believed that the removal occurs with the help of ultrasound. The tip breaks the plaque on the teeth, the waves that emanate from it, detach the pieces of stone. While the nozzle is moving, a stream of water or antibacterial agent is sprayed out of it. This allows you to immediately wash away the tartar and cool the surface of the tooth.
Then you need to grind the tooth with special rubbers and brushes, which remove the remnants of plaque and grind it. Cover the teeth with a special paste in order to reduce the sensitivity of the teeth after the procedure. Also very often after removing the stone recommend rinsing the mouth with chamomile and oak bark to relieve inflammation.
This method is also the safest compared to previous ones. The main thing is to get an appointment with a good specialist, since only he knows how to properly handle such devices. It is known that the ultrasonic tip can only be placed parallel to the tooth; if placed perpendicularly, the tooth will collapse. After ultrasound treatment fillings may fall, which were made of poor quality material or poorly cemented. In this case, you must replace the seal with a better one.
It is necessary from time to time to remove plaque from the teeth.This will make it possible to keep the teeth in good condition for a longer time. Also at this time, biologically active points in the human body are activated, thereby improving the health of the whole organism.
