Tartar (calculus) is hardened plaque that cannot be removed by brushing alone. It

accumulates along the gumline and between teeth.

Treatment:

• Professional scaling and cleaning are required to remove tartar

• Regular cleanings help prevent its buildup

Preventing tartar starts with daily brushing, flossing, and routine dental visits.

A healthy smile starts with a disciplined oral care routine. This routine should include:

• Brushing twice daily with a soft-bristled toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste

• Flossing once a day to remove plaque and food debris between teeth• Rinsing with an antibacterial mouthwash for added freshness and protection against

plaque

• Replacing your toothbrush every 3 months or sooner if the bristles are worn

Additionally, limiting sugary snacks and acidic drinks, staying hydrated, and attending

regular dental check-ups contribute to long-term oral health.

Causes of Tooth Stains:

• Foods and drinks like coffee, tea, red wine

• Tobacco use

• Aging and enamel thinning

Whitening Methods:

• Professional in-clinic whitening treatments

• Over-the-counter whitening products (less effective for deep stains)

Professional methods offer faster, more noticeable, and longer-lasting results.

Facts:

• Frequent sugar intake feeds bacteria in the mouth, producing acids that erode enamel

• Even natural sugars can contribute to decay if oral hygiene is poor

Myths:

• Only candy causes cavities—actually, starchy foods and sweetened drinks can be just

as harmful

• Brushing right after eating sweets prevents cavities—it's better to wait 30 minutes to

avoid brushing softened enamel

Dental floss is essential for oral health because it cleans areas where your toothbrush

cannot reach—specifically between teeth and under the gumline. Without flossing, plaque

buildup can cause gum disease, cavities, and bad breath.

Tip:

Make flossing a daily habit, especially before bedtime, to remove the day's accumulated

debris and bacteria.
